9 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts 31 December 2012 (1) Nature and Activities of the Company EDP Renováveis, S.A. (hereinafter, the Company ) was incorporated by public deed under Spanish law on 4 December 2007 and commenced operations on the same date. Its registered offices are at Plaza de la Gesta, 2, Oviedo. On 18 March 2008, the shareholders agreed to change the corporate status of the Company from EDP Renováveis, S.L. to EDP Renováveis, S.A. According to the Company s articles of association, the statutory activity of EDP Renováveis S.A. comprises activities related to the electrical sector, specifically the projection, construction, maintenance and management of electricity production facilities, in particular those eligible for the special arrangements for electricity generation. The Company promotes and develops projects relating to energy resources and electricity production activities as well as managing and administering other companies equity securities. The Company can engage in its statutory activities directly or indirectly through ownership of shares or investments in companies or entities with identical or similar statutory activities. On 28 January 2008, EDP Energías de Portugal, S.A. informed the market and the general public that its directors had decided to launch a public share offering in EDP Renováveis, S.L. The Company completed its initial flotation in June 2008, with 22.5% of shares in the Company quoted on the Lisbon stock exchange. As explained in note 8 the Company holds investments in subsidiaries. Consequently, in accordance with prevailing legislation, the Company is the parent of a group of companies. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Spain, consolidated annual accounts must be prepared to present fairly the financial position of the Group, the results of operations and changes in its equity and cash flows. Details of investments in Group companies are provided in Appendix I. The operating activity of the group headed by the Company is carried out in Europe, the USA and Brazil through three subgroups headed by EDP Renewables Europe, S.L.U. (EDPR EU) in Europe, EDP Renewables North America, LLC (EDPR NA, formerly Horizon Wind Energy, LLC) in the USA and EDP Renováveis Brasil in Brazil. In 2010 the Group incorporated the subsidiary EDP Renewables Canada, Ltd. to provide a base for carrying out projects in Canada. The Company belongs to the EDP Group, of which the parent is EDP Energías de Portugal, S.A., with registered offices at Praça Marquês de Pombal, 12 4, Lisbon. (Continued)

10 2 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts In 2012, China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG) acquired 780,633,782 ordinary shares in EDP from Parpública Participaçoes Públicas (S.G.P.S.), S.A., representing 21.35% of the share capital and voting rights of EDP Energías de Portugal S.A., a majority shareholder of the Company. The terms of the agreements through which CTG became a shareholder of the EDP Group stipulate that CTG would make minority investments totalling Euros 2,000 million in the assets of the EDP Renováveis Group, representing 1.5 GW of installed capacity (900 MW in operation and 600 MW under construction). On 26 February 2013 the directors authorised for issue the consolidated annual accounts of EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries for 2012 under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) (28 February 2012 for 2011), which show consolidated profit of Euros thousand and consolidated equity of Euros 5,748,827 thousand (Euros 90,624 thousand and Euros 5,453,725 thousand in 2011). The consolidated annual accounts will be filed at the Asturias Mercantile Registry. (2) Basis of Presentation (a) Fair presentation The accompanying annual accounts have been prepared on the basis of the accounting records of EDP Renováveis, S.A. The annual accounts for 2012 have been prepared in accordance with prevailing legislation and the Spanish General Chart of Accounts to present fairly the equity and financial position at 31 December 2012 and results of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. The directors consider that the accompanying annual accounts for 2012, authorised for issue on 26 February 2013, will be approved with no changes by the shareholders at their annual general meeting. (b) Comparative information The balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and the notes thereto for 2012 include comparative figures for 2011, which formed part of the annual accounts approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 12 April (c) Functional and presentation currency The figures disclosed in the annual accounts are expressed in thousands of Euros, the Company s functional and presentation currency.

11 3 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (d) Critical issues regarding the valuation and estimation of relevant uncertainties and judgements used when applying accounting principles Relevant accounting estimates and judgements and other estimates and assumptions have to be made when applying the Company s accounting principles to prepare the annual accounts. A summary of the items requiring a greater degree of judgement or which are more complex, or where the assumptions and estimates made are significant to the preparation of the annual accounts, is as follows: Relevant accounting estimates and assumptions The Company tests investments in Group companies for impairment on an annual basis. An asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, the latter of which is understood as the higher of the asset s value in use and fair value less costs to sell. The Company generally uses cash flow discounting methods to calculate these values. Discounted cash flow calculations are based on projections in the budgets approved by management. The cash flows take into consideration past experience and represent management s best estimate of future market performance. The key assumptions employed to calculate the fair value less costs to sell and value in use include growth rates in accordance with best estimates of rises in electricity prices in each country, the weighted average cost of capital and tax rates. The estimates, including the methodology used, could have a significant impact on values and impairment. The fair value of financial instruments is based on market quotations when available. Otherwise, fair value is based on prices applied in recent, similar transactions in market conditions or on evaluation methodologies using discounted future cash flow techniques, considering market conditions, time value, the profitability curve and volatility factors. These methods may require assumptions or judgements in estimating fair value. Changes in accounting estimates Although estimates are calculated by the Company s directors based on the best information available at 31 December 2012, future events may require changes to these estimates in subsequent years. Any effect on the annual accounts of adjustments to be made in subsequent years would be recognised prospectively. (Continued)

12 4 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (3) Distribution of Profit The proposed distribution of 2012 profit to be submitted to the shareholders for approval at their annual general meeting is as follows: Euros Basis of allocation Profit for the year 50,838, Distribution Legal reserve 5,083, Dividends 34,892, Voluntary reserve 10,862, Total 50,838, The distribution of profit and reserves of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2011, approved by the shareholders at their annual general meeting held on 12 April 2012, is as follows: Euros Basis of allocation Profit for the year 59,018, Distribution Legal reserve 5,901, Voluntary reserve 53,116, Total 59,018, At 31 December non-distributable reserves are as follows: Thousands of Euros Non-distributable reserves Legal reserve 24,592 18,689 24,592 18,689 Profit recognised directly in equity cannot be distributed, either directly or indirectly. (Continued)

13 5 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (4) Significant Accounting Policies (a) Foreign currency transactions, balances and cash flows Foreign currency transactions have been translated into Euros using the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies have been translated into Euros at the closing rate, while non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at historical cost have been translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Non-monetary assets measured at fair value have been translated into Euros at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. In the statement of cash flows, foreign currency transaction cash flows have been translated into Euros at the exchange rates at the dates the cash flows occur. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies is recognised separately in the statement of cash flows as effect of exchange rate fluctuations. Exchange gains and losses arising on the settlement of foreign currency transactions and the translation into Euros of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. (b) Intangible assets Computer software is measured at cost of acquisition and carried at cost, less any accumulated amortisation and impairment. Computer software is amortised by allocating the depreciable amount on a systematic basis over its useful life, which has been estimated at five years from the asset entering normal use. Capitalised personnel costs of employees who implement computer software are recognised as self-constructed assets in the income statement. Computer software maintenance costs are charged as expenses when incurred. (c) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost of acquisition Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated by allocating the depreciable amount of the asset on a systematic basis over its useful life. The depreciable amount is the cost of an asset, less its residual value. The Company determines the depreciation charge separately for each component of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the asset and with a useful life that differs from the remainder of the asset. (Continued)

14 6 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts Property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the following criteria: Depreciation method Estimated years of useful life Other installations Straight-line 10 Furniture Straight-line 10 Information technology equipment Straight-line 4 (d) Financial instruments (i) Classification and separation of financial instruments Financial instruments are classified on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the economic substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial asset, a financial liability and an equity instrument. The Company classifies financial instruments into different categories based on the nature of the instruments and management s intentions on initial recognition. (ii) Offsetting principles A financial asset and a financial liability are offset only when the Company currently has the legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. (iii) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Upon initial recognition the Company designates financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the income statement only if: it eliminates or significantly reduces the measurement or recognition inconsistency between financial assets and financial liabilities or the performance of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both is managed and evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company s documented risk management or investment strategy. Information on these financial assets and financial liabilities provided internally to the Company s key management personnel is evaluated on that basis. This category also includes the derivative financial instruments described in note 11. Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue are recognised as an expense when incurred. (Continued)

15 7 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts After initial recognition, they are recognised at fair value through profit or loss. Fair value is reduced by transaction costs incurred on sale or disposal. Accrual interest and dividends are recognised separately. (iv) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables comprise trade and non-trade receivables with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market other than those classified in other financial asset categories. These assets are initially recognised at fair value, including transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (v) Investments in Group companies Investments in Group companies are initially recognised at cost, which is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration given, excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at cost net of any accumulated impairment. The cost of investments in Group companies acquired prior to 1 January 2010 includes transaction costs. (vi) Interest Interest is recognised using the effective interest method. Based on consultation number 2 with the Spanish Accounting and Auditing Institute, published in its Official Gazette number 78, for entities whose ordinary activity is the holding of shares in Group companies and the financing of investees, the dividends and other income coupons, interest earned on financing extended to investees, as well as profits obtained from the disposal of investments, except those deriving from the disposal of subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates, constitute revenue in the income statement. (vii) Derecognition of financial assets Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. (viii) Impairment of financial assets Impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost In the case of financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset s original effective interest rate. For variable income financial assets, the effective interest rate corresponding to the measurement date under the contractual conditions is used. (Continued)

16 8 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts The impairment loss is recognised in profit and loss and may be reversed in subsequent periods if the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment has been recognised. The loss can only be reversed to the limit of the amortised cost of the assets had the impairment loss not been recognised. Investments in Group companies An asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, the latter of which is understood as the higher of the asset s value in use and fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is calculated based on the Company s share of the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from ordinary activities and from the disposal of the asset. The carrying amount of the investment includes any monetary receivables or payables of which settlement is neither expected nor probable, excluding items of a commercial nature. In subsequent years, reversals of impairment losses in the form of increases in the recoverable amount are recognised, up to the limit of the carrying amount that would have been determined for the investment if no impairment loss had been recognised. Impairment losses are recognised and reversed in the income statement. Impairment of an investment is limited to the amount of the investment, except when contractual, legal or constructive obligations have been assumed by the Company or payments have been made on behalf of the companies. (ix) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, that are not classified as held for trading or as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value less any transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the financial liability. After initial recognition, liabilities classified under this category are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (x) Derecognition of financial liabilities The Company derecognises all or part of a financial liability when it either discharges the liability by paying the creditor, or is legally released from primary responsibility for the liability either by process of law or by the creditor. (Continued)

17 9 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (xi) Fair value The fair value is the amount for which an asset can be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm s length transaction. If available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. Otherwise, the Company calculates fair value using recent transaction prices or, if insufficient information is available, generally accepted valuation techniques such as discounting expected cash flows. (e) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits in financial institutions. They also include other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. An investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent when it has a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition. The Company recognises cash payments and receipts for financial assets and financial liabilities in which turnover is quick on a net basis in the statement of cash flows. Turnover is considered to be quick when the period between the date of acquisition and maturity does not exceed six months. (f) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal, contractual, constructive or tacit) as a result of a past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account all risks and uncertainties surrounding the amount to be recognised as a provision and, where the time value of money is material, the financial effect of discounting provided that the expenditure to be made each period can be reliably estimated. The discount rate is a pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money and the specific risks for which future cash flows associated with the provision have not been adjusted at each reporting date. The financial effect of provisions is recognised as a finance cost in the income statement. If it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle an obligation, the provision is reversed. (Continued)

18 10 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (g) Income taxes The income tax expense or tax income for the year comprises current tax and deferred tax. Current tax assets or liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date. Current and deferred tax are recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the year, except to the extent that the tax arises from a transaction or event which is recognised, in the same or a different year, directly in equity, or from a business combination. The Company files consolidated tax returns as part of the 385/08 group headed by EDP Energías de Portugal, S.A. Sucursal en España. In addition to the factors to be considered for individual taxation, set out previously, the following factors are taken into account when determining the accrued income tax expense for the companies forming the consolidated tax group: Temporary and permanent differences arising from the elimination of profits and losses on transactions between Group companies, derived from the process of determining consolidated taxable income. Deductions and credits corresponding to each company forming the consolidated tax group. For these purposes, deductions and credits are allocated to the company that carried out the activity or obtained the profit necessary to obtain the right to the deduction or tax credit. Temporary differences arising from the elimination of profits and losses on transactions between tax group companies are recognised by the company that generates the profit or loss, using the applicable tax rate. A reciprocal credit and debit arises between the companies that contribute tax losses to the consolidated Group and the rest of the companies that offset those losses. Where a tax loss cannot be offset by the other consolidated Group companies, these tax credits for loss carryforwards are recognised as deferred tax assets using the applicable recognition criteria, considering the tax group as a taxable entity. The Parent of the Group records the total consolidated income tax payable (recoverable) with a debit (credit) to receivables (payables) from/to Group companies and associates. The amount of the debt (credit) relating to the subsidiaries is recognised with a credit (debit) to payables (receivables) to/from Group companies and associates. (Continued)

19 11 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (i) Taxable temporary differences Taxable temporary differences are recognised in all cases except where they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable income. (ii) Deductible temporary differences Deductible temporary differences are recognised provided that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised, unless the differences arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable income. Tax planning opportunities are only considered when assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets and if the Company intends to use these opportunities or it is probable that they will be utilised. (iii) Measurement Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the years when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted. The tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets or liabilities are also reflected in the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. (iv) Offset and classification Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet under non-current assets or liabilities, irrespective of the expected date of recovery or settlement. (h) Classification of assets and liabilities as current and non-current The Company classifies assets and liabilities in the balance sheet as current and noncurrent. Current assets and liabilities are determined as follows: Assets are classified as current when they are expected to be realised or are intended for sale or consumption in the Company s normal operating cycle, they are held primarily for the purpose of trading, they are expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting date or are cash or a cash equivalent, unless the assets may not be exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. (Continued)

20 12 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts Liabilities are classified as current when they are expected to be settled in the Company s normal operating cycle, they are held primarily for the purpose of trading, they are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date or the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. Financial liabilities are classified as current when they are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date, even if the original term was for a period longer than twelve months, and an agreement to refinance or to reschedule payments on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting date and before the annual accounts are authorised for issue. (i) Environmental issues Environmental assets Assets acquired by the Company to minimise the environmental impact of its activity and to protect and improve the environment, including the reduction and elimination of future pollution from the Company s activities, are capitalised as property, plant and equipment in the balance sheet at cost of purchase or production and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Environmental expenses Environmental expenses are the costs derived from managing the environmental effects of the Company's operations and existing environmental commitments. These include expenses relating to the prevention of pollution caused by ordinary activities, waste treatment and disposal, decontamination, restoration, environmental management or environmental audit. Expenses derived from environmental activities are recognised as operating expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Environmental provisions The Company makes an environmental provision when expenses are probable or certain to arise but the amount or timing is unknown. Where necessary, provision is also made for environmental work arising from any legal or contractual commitments and for those commitments acquired for the prevention and repair of environmental damage. (j) Related party transactions Transactions between Group companies are recognised at the fair value of the consideration given or received. The difference between this value and the amount agreed is recognised in line with the underlying economic substance of the transaction. (Continued)

21 13 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (k) Hedge accounting Derivative financial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are initially measured at fair value, plus any transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, or less any transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the financial instruments. The Company undertakes fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and hedges of net investments in foreign operations. The Company has also opted to record hedges of foreign currency risk of a firm commitment as a cash flow hedge. At the inception of the hedge the Company formally designates and documents the hedging relationships and the objective and strategy for undertaking the hedges. Hedge accounting is only applicable when the hedge is expected to be highly effective at the inception of the hedge and in subsequent years in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, throughout the period for which the hedge was designated (prospective analysis) and the actual effectiveness, which can be reliably measured, is within a range of 80%- 125% (retrospective analysis). The Company hedges net investments in foreign operations in relation to its investment in the Group companies EDP Renewables North America, LLC and EDP Renováveis Brasil S.A. Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation The Company hedges the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates derived from investments in Group companies denominated in foreign currency. The hedges are classified as fair value hedges. The portion of gains or losses on the hedging instrument or on the changes in the exchange of the monetary item used as the hedging instrument is recognised as exchange gains or losses. Gains or losses on investments related to the foreign currency amount of the underlying in the annual accounts are recognised as exchange gains or losses in profit and loss with a valuation adjustment for the effective part of the hedge. (l) Long- and short-term employee benefits The Company recognises the expected cost of profit-sharing and bonus plans when it has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past events and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.

The coverage of these policies is considered sufficient. At year end the Company has no fully depreciated property, plant and equipment. (7) Risk Management Policy (a) Financial risk factors The Company s activities are exposed to various financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk in fair value), credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk in cash flows. The Company s global risk management programme focuses on uncertainty in the financial markets and aims to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company s profits. The Company uses derivatives to mitigate certain risks. The directors of the Company are responsible for defining general risk management principles and establishing exposure limits. The Company s financial risk management is subcontracted to the Finance Department of EDP Energías de Portugal, S.A. in accordance with the policies approved by the board of directors. The subcontracted service includes the identification and evaluation of hedging instruments. All operations involving derivative financial instruments are subject to prior approval from the board of directors, which sets the parameters of each operation and approves the formal documents describing the objectives of the operation. (Continued)

25 17 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (i) Currency risk The Company operates internationally and is therefore exposed to currency risk when operating with foreign currencies, especially with regard to the US Dollar, the Brazilian Real and the Zloty. Currency risk is associated with recognised assets and liabilities, and net investments in foreign operations. The Company holds investments in Group companies denominated in a foreign currency, which are exposed to currency risk. Currency risk affecting these investments in US Dollars is mitigated primarily through a derivative financial instrument and borrowings in the corresponding foreign currencies. Details of the hedged financial assets and the derivative financial instruments obtained to hedge them are provided in notes 8 and 11. Details of financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies and transactions in foreign currencies are provided in notes 8, 10, 16 and 21. At 31 December 2012 and 2011, had the Euro strengthened/weakened by 10% against the US Dollar, with the other variables remaining constant, the effect on pre-tax profit would have been as follows: Thousands of Euros EUR/USD exchange rate strengthened by 10% 22,695 26,734 EUR/USD exchange rate weakened by 10% (27,738) (32,675) This effect essentially derives from the translation of debt in foreign currencies. (ii) Credit risk The Company is not significantly exposed to credit risk as the majority of its balances and transactions are with Group companies. As the counterparties of derivative financial instruments are Group companies, and the counterparties of their derivative financial instruments are highly solvent banks, the Company is not subject to significant counterparty default risk. Guarantees or other derivatives are therefore not requested in this type of operation. The Company has documented its financial operations in accordance with international standards. The majority of its operations with derivative financial instruments are therefore contracted under ISDA Master Agreements, which facilitate the transfer of instruments in the market. Details of financial assets exposed to credit risk are provided in note 10. (Continued)

26 18 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (iii) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to comply with its financial commitments on maturity. The Company s approach in managing liquidity risk is to guarantee as far as possible that liquidity will always be available to pay its debts before they mature, in normal conditions and during financial difficulties, without incurring unacceptable losses or compromising the Company s reputation. Compliance with the liquidity policy ensures that contracted commitments are paid, maintaining sufficient credit facilities. The EDP Renováveis Group manages liquidity risk by contracting and maintaining credit facilities with its majority shareholder, or directly with domestic and international entities in the market, under optimal conditions, to ensure access to the financing required to continue its activities. Details of financial assets and financial liabilities by contractual maturity date are provided in notes 10 and 16. (iv) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risks Given the nature of its activity, the Company has a considerable amount of remunerated assets. Income and cash flows from operating activities are therefore significantly affected by fluctuations in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from loans extended to Group companies and non-current borrowings from Group companies. The loans have fixed interest rates, exposing the Company to fair value risks. Details of the hedged financial assets and the derivative financial instruments obtained to hedge them are provided in notes 8 and 11. (8) Investments in Equity Instruments of Group Companies Details of direct investments in equity instruments of Group companies are as follows: Thousands of Euros EDP Renováveis Brasil S.A. 43,972 14,143 EDP Renewables Europe, S.L.U. 884, ,352 EDP Renewables North America, LLC 3,160,098 3,288,669 EDP Renewables Canada, Ltd. 2,190 2,190 4,090,612 4,189,354 (note 10a) (note 10a) No impairment losses have been recognised as a result of the tests performed.

In 2011 the Company subscribed successive share capital increases by its subsidiary EDP Renewables Canada totalling Euros 2,187 thousand (Canadian Dollars 2,995 thousand). (i) Foreign currency The functional currencies of foreign operations are the currencies of the countries in which they are domiciled. The net investment in these operations coincides with the carrying amount of the investment. (ii) Hedged investments Details of investments, the fair value of which is hedged against currency risk at 31 December 2012 and 2011, are as follows: Thousands of Euros EDP Renováveis Brasil S.A. 43,972 - EDP Renewables North America, LLC.

28 20 EDP RENOVÁVEIS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts In 2012 Company management arranged a hedging instrument to cover the currency risk associated with its Brazilian Reais-denominated investment in EDP Renováveis Brasil S.A. This hedging instrument comprises two swaps arranged for a notional amount of Brazilian Reais 118,000 thousand, equivalent to Euros 45,403 thousand applying the exchange rate at that date. In 2012 the change in fair value of the investment in EDP Renováveis Brasil S.A. totals Euros 1,809 thousand and the change in fair value of the hedging instrument amounts to Euros 1,300 thousand. These amounts have been recognised in exchange gains/losses in the accompanying income statement (see note 11). To hedge the currency risk arising from the exposure of the investment in EDP Renewables North America, LLC, denominated in a foreign currency, in 2008 Company management contracted a hedging instrument comprising three swaps for a total notional amount of US Dollars 2,632,613 thousand, equivalent to Euros 1,826,175 thousand applying the exchange rate at that date. In 2012 the change in fair value of the investment in EDP Renewables North America, LLC totals Euros 39,323 thousand and the change in fair value of the hedging instrument amounts to Euros 39,323 thousand (Euros 64,410 thousand and Euros 64,410 thousand, respectively, in 2011). These amounts have been recognised in exchange gains/losses in the accompanying income statement (see note 11). The fair value of the hedging instrument at 31 December 2012 totals Euros 169,136 thousand (Euros 208,460 thousand at 31 December 2011), and this has been recognised in noncurrent payables under non-current liabilities and current payables to Group companies and associates under current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet (see note 11). At 31 December 2012, the loss relating to the aforementioned net investment hedging operation totalled Euros 2,973 thousand (gain of Euros 14,693 thousand at 31 December 2011). These amounts are pending settlement at 31 December 2012 and are included in the current account with Group companies presented in note 10. The remaining amount of this investment that is not hedged by the aforementioned operation is covered by hedging operations securing loans of the same currency (see note 16), resulting in exchange gains of Euros 24,702 thousand in 2012 and Euros 39,387 thousand in (Continued)

The agreement is only applicable to the wind farms under the old tariff regime, while the wind farms awarded under the competitive tenders (e.g. Eólicas de Portugal - ENEOP) after the publication of the Decree-Law 33-A/2005 will not be subject to any type of changes. 10

100 The agreement reached provides additional stability to the Portuguese electricity system, and reinforces the legal framework in place and the country s commitment with renewable energy, by: Keeping unchanged all the provisions included in the Decree-Law 33-A/2005; Making the agreement voluntary to each one of the wind developers; Introducing a new tariff scheme, by extending the duration of the remuneration framework from the initial 15 years since the publication of the Decree-Law 33-A/2005 or the commercial operating date if later, to a duration of years, in exchange for an annual payment by the developers from 2013 through In order to maximise the number of wind developers that voluntarily adheres to the extension of the remuneration framework the Government proposed 4 alternative tariff schemes to be elected by each of the wind developers, providing i) alternative cap and floor selling prices; ii) alternative durations to the new scheme beyond the initial 15 years of the current contracts; and consequently iii) alternative levels of investment (on a per MW basis) to acquire the new scheme. Through this regime, wind energy will be remunerated between year 16 th and 22 nd according with: The Floor Price whenever the daily average wholesale market price is below the Floor Price; The Cap Price whenever the daily average wholesale market price is above the Cap Price, and; The daily average wholesale market price when it is within the Floor and the Cap. EDPR expects to annually invest between 3.6 million to 4.0 million, during the period, thus enabling additional long-term remuneration visibility for its Portuguese assets.

In 2012, EDPR entered the solar PV technology by commissioning 39 MW in Romania and completed its first wind farms (40MW) in Italy. From the total 7.6 GW of its EBITDA consolidated capacity, 90% are remunerated according with long-term contracts and regulated frameworks, and only 10% are exposed to US spot electricity markets (although partly with short-term hedges). During 2012, EDPR added a total of 504 MW of new capacity to its portfolio of which 440 MW to its fully consolidated capacity and 64 MW (attributable to EDPR) through the Eólicas de Portugal consortium. In the period, EDPR added in Europe and 215 MW in the US. In Europe, 110 MW were added in Spain, 65 MW in Romania (of which 39 MW of Solar PV), 40 MW in Italy, 8 MW in France and 66 MW in Portugal (of which 64 MW correspond to the ongoing capacity growth of the Eólicas de Portugal consortium that is attributable to EDPR). From this new capacity in Europe, 179 MW were added in the 4Q12. In the US, EDPR added in 2012 the Marble River wind farm in New York State with 215 MW of installed capacity (70 MW added in 4Q12). 16

EDPR continues to leverage on its competitive advantages to maximize wind farm output and on its diversified portfolio to mitigate wind volatility. In Europe, EDPR obtained a 26% load factor (+1.1pp YoY), driven by higher load factor in Spain and in Rest of Europe. In the US, the 2012 average load factor was stable YoY at 33%, despite the quarterly volatility experienced throughout the year. In Brazil, the average load factor was 31% vs. 35% in GWh /11 Europe 8,277 7, % US 9,937 9,330 +6% Brazil % Total 18,445 16, % EDPR s electricity output increased 10% YoY to 18.4 GWh, delivering growth in all geographies. The company s operations in Europe, backed by Central and Eastern European markets, drove the overall production increase (+13% YoY), with US and Brazil growing +6% and +36% YoY, respectively. The contribution of new PPAs and the investments in regulated markets, resulted in 86% of the year's production sold under PPAs or regulated framework schemes.

Total assets in 2012 totaled 13.3bn, of which c. 80% ( 10.5bn) are related to net Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) reflecting the cumulative net invested capital in renewable energy generation. Total net PP&E increased + 82m, mainly following the new additions in the period (+ 690m) reduced by the depreciation charges and impairment losses in the period (- 501m), the effect from Fx translation mostly due to the USD devaluation (- 89m) and the disposals and write-offs (- 19m). Total cumulative net invested capital related to renewable energy assets in operation at the end of 2012 (excluding work in progress related to assets under construction and pipeline and excluding investment grants received) amounted to 9.5bn. Net intangible assets and goodwill of 1.3bn mostly include the goodwill assigned to acquisitions in the US ( 588m) and Spain ( 535m) while total net accounts receivable of 1.0bn comprise loans to related parties ( 538m), trade receivables ( 180m), guarantees ( 64m) and tax receivables ( 55m). Total equity at year-end of 5.7bn increased by + 296m during the year essentially from the sale of non-controlling interests of + 179m and the net profit of the period of + 136m (including + 10m attributable to non-controlling interests). Total liabilities of 7.6bn at year-end 2012, stable versus prior year-end, consist c. 51% from financial debt ( 3.9bn) and c. 12% from liabilities related to institutional partnerships ( 0.9bn). Liabilities related to institutional partnerships decreased by - 69m to 942m, mainly as a result of tax benefits monetized (- 111m), payments to institutional investors (- 16m), interests accrued ( 67m) and Fx translation (- 18m). Deferred revenues from institutional partnerships of 738m consist of the deferred income related to tax benefits monetized by the institutional partners yet to be recognized in the income statement throughout the remaining lifetime of the respective assets. Deferred Tax liabilities in the amount of 381m reflect the tax effects from temporary differences between assets and liabilities on an accounting basis and on tax basis, while accounts payable of 1.6bn include payables to PP&E suppliers ( 580m), deferred income related to Investment grants received ( 324m), liabilities from fair value of derivative financial instruments ( 245m) and tax payables ( 57m). 20

111 In 2012, the company s revenues increased 20% YoY to 1,285m, on the back of higher output and stronger prices. Opex defined as Operating Costs (net) minus Other operating income was up 17% YoY, below the top-line growth evolution. On an unitary basis, Opex/MW and Opex/MWh increased 8% and 6% YoY, mostly impacted by a stronger US Dollar and write-offs. Excluding the forex impact and write-offs, Opex/MW and Opex/MWh only increased by 4% and 2% YoY. In 2012, Supplies and services (which includes O&M costs) together with personnel costs increased 13% YoY, reflecting the stronger US Dollar, the higher average capacity in operation and lower capitalisations as a result of lower FTEs allocated to construction and development activities. Other operating costs (which mainly includes operating taxes, leases and rents) grew 29% YoY following the top-line growth, the stronger US Dollar, higher taxes (Spain and France) and grid access fees (Spain), and further write-offs related to pipeline rationalisation. Unitary EBITDA per average MW in operation, a metric to measure the assets profitability, increased 9% YoY to 131k in 2012 showing evidence of the ongoing improvement of EDPR s portfolio. As a result, EBITDA in 2012 totalled 938m, 17% higher vs The operating income (EBIT) increased 30% YoY to 450m in 2012, following the EBITDA performance and the 7% higher depreciation and amortisation. D&A were impacted by the new capacity brought into operation, the extension of the assets useful life and impairments ( 53m) mostly related to projects under development in Spain. At the financial results level, net interest costs before capitalisation increased 8% YoY to 205m in 2012, below the 14% YoY average financial debt evolution. Institutional partnership costs were up 4% YoY given the stronger US Dollar, while forex differences and derivatives remained positive. Other financial expenses in the 4Q12 standalone amounted to 13m impacted by the early termination costs of financial debt (in line with 3Q12 excluding this effect). Pre-Tax Profit increased 53% YoY to 182m in In the period, income taxes amounted to 46m, with an effective tax rate of 25% (vs. 24% in 2011). Non-controlling interests totalled 10m, following the better performance in EDPR Europe and the sale of a non-controlling interest in 599 MW in the US. All in all, Net Profit increased 43% YoY to 126m in 2012 while Adjusted Net Profit increased by 32% YoY to 134m when adjusted by the non-recurrent events with impact on the operating income and by Forex differences and capital gains (in 2012 and 2011). 22

112 Dividend distribution: The distribution of dividends must be proposed by EDPR s Board of Directors and authorized by a resolution approved in the Company s Shareholders Meeting. In keeping with the legal provisions in force, namely the Spanish Companies Law, the EDPR Articles of Association require that profits for a business year consider: The amount required to serve legal reserves; The amount agreed by the same General Shareholders Meeting to allocate to dividends of the outstanding shares; The amount agreed by the General Shareholders Meeting to constitute or increase reserve funds or free reserves; The remaining amount shall be booked as surplus. The expected dividend policy of EDPR, as announced in the EDPR Investor Day of May 22nd, 2012, is to propose dividend distribution each year from , representing 25% to 35% of EDPR s distributable profit. Accordingly, for 2013, EDPR s Board of Directors proposes a dividend of EUR 34,892,326.48, or 0.04 per share, which corresponds to a pay-out ratio of 28% on the consolidated results of EDPR net profit of Net Income Application Proposal Distribution basis: Net Income of the period 50,838,440 Total to be allocated 50,838,440 Allocation: Legal Reserves (10%) 5,083,844 Dividends 34,892,326 Free Reserves 10,862,269 Total Distributed 50,838,440 23

Operating Cash-Flow increased 4% YoY to 666m which compares unfavourably with the FFO performance given the non-recurrent working capital changes registered in 2011 and the increased stock of green certificates in Romania, which were mostly sold only at the beginning of The key cash-flow items that explain the 2012 cash evolution are the following: Funds From Operations, resulting from EBITDA after net interest expenses, income from associates and current taxes increased 11% YoY to 655m; Operating Cash-Flow, before net interest costs, adjusted by non-cash items (namely income from US institutional partnerships) and net of changes in working capital, amounted to 666m (+4% YoY). The changes in working capital YoY comparison is influenced by non-recurrent receivables in 2011 (mostly related to VAT collection) and the 24

114 increased stock of green certificates in Romania, which were mostly sold only at the beginning of 2013; Capital expenditures with the ongoing construction and development works totalled 612m, while other investments activities amounted to 22m. In the period, EDPR completed two minority stake transactions executing its asset rotation strategy of selling non-controlling interests in operationally optimized assets. Through the first sale of a 49% equity stake in a 599 MW portfolio of wind farms to Borealis, EDPR received $230m ( 177m) in Dec-12. The instalment of the minority stake transaction announced in Dec-12 with CTG will occur in the 1H13. All in all, Net Debt decreased 33m to 3,355m. In 2012, EDPR was for the first time freecash flow positive and going forward as the Operating Cash-Flow continues to grow and the asset rotation strategy is executed, EDPR is expected to enter into a solid free-cash flow generation cycle. Net Debt ( m) Bank loans and other Loans with EDP Group related companies 2,957 2,989 (32) Financial Debt 3,874 3, Cash and cash equivalents Loans to EDP Group related companies and cash pooling Financial assets held for trading Cash & Equivalents Net Debt 3,355 3,387 (33) By Dec-12, EDPR net debt decreased 33m vs. Dec-11 to 3.4bn given that the Operating Cash- Flow and the first instalment of the asset rotation strategy more than covered the investment activities and the debt service of the period. The average financial debt increased 14% in the last 12 months ( 4.0bn in 2012 vs 3.5bn in 2011), while the average net debt increased 8% YoY. 76% of EDPR s financial debt was contracted through shareholder loans with the EDP Group EDPR's principal shareholder, while loans with financial institutions represented 24%. To continue to diversify its funding sources EDPR keeps on executing top quality projects enabling the company to secure local project finance at competitive costs. In 2012, EDPR signed three new project finances for a total of 274m for projects in Spain (125 MW), Belgium (57 MW) and Romania (57 MW). Moreover, all of EDPR's wind installed capacity in Romania (285 MW) has now project finance structures fully secured ( 238m). 25

115 Liabilities referred to as Institutional Partnerships decreased 68m YoY ( 50m excluding the forex translation effect) to 942m, due to the tax benefits captured by the tax equity partners. As of Dec-12, 57% of EDPR s financial debt was Euro denominated, while 39% was funded in US Dollar given the company s investments in the US. The remaining debt is mainly related to funding in Polish Zloty an in Brazilian Real. 92% of the financial debt is at a fixed rate and most of it (c.80%) has a post-2018 maturity. EDPR continues to follow a long-term fixed rate funding strategy to match the Operating Cash-Flow profile with its financing costs, therefore mitigating its interest rate risk. As of Dec-12, the average interest rate was 5.2%, a 20bps decrease vs. Dec-11, reflecting the longterm maturity of the current debt and the attractive rates closed in the latest funding. 4.3 Competitive Landscape and Business Plan EDPR is a global leading energy company. Our growth has been the result of an extraordinary ability to execute projects and to smoothly integrate new companies, people and cultures. Our markets provide attractive growth potential, mainly due to their growth prospects and the fact that they possess stable regulatory structures that allows for profitable returns. EDPR continues to look at the renewable energy sector with a long-term outlook, believing that the environmental, economic and technological trends that have underpinned the currently favorable renewable energy market conditions will continue to drive further support for growth in our markets. EDPR has a solid history executing projects and delivering targets. We consistently increased installed capacity through the successful development of pipeline. The company s successful results stem from a unique combination of factors: strong track record in execution, first class assets with above average wind resource quality, a well balanced portfolio in terms of geography, stage of development and revenue sources, and a competitive turbine supply strategy. The combination of diversified operations with a stable revenue base spread across countries with favorable regulatory regimes limits the exposure to market prices of electricity and provides significant visibility and stability. At the core of EDPR s confidence in achieving these targets, is a dynamic, highly qualified and experienced team of world-wide employees with the track record and ambition to deliver upon our targets. 26

116 5. RISK MANAGEMENT EDPR s risk framework was designed to not be a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities and processes of the company, but to be part of the responsibilities of management as an integrating element of all organizational processes, including strategic planning. RISK FRAMEWORK AND PROCESS In EDPR s risk framework, risk process aims to link the company s overall strategy to manager s day-to-day decisions, enabling the company to increase the likelihood of achieving its strategic objectives. EDPR s general strategy is translated into major strategic questions that are grouped by risk area and then subject to EDPR s risk process. The outcome of the risk process is a set of specific guidelines per risk area that will guide managers in their decisions according to the company s risk profile. 27

117 RISK FUNCTIONS AND RISK COMMITTEE Risk management in EDPR is supported by three distinct organizational functions: EDPR s risk framework was designed to not be a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities and processes of the company, but to be part of the responsibilities of management as an integrating element of all organizational processes, including strategic planning. The following list summarizes the main risk areas and descriptions of EDPR s business: 1. Countries & regulations - Changes in regulations may impact EDPR s business in a given country 2. Revenues - Revenues received by EDPR s projects may diverge from what is expected 3. Financing - EDPR may not be able to raise enough cash to finance its planned Capex; EDPR may not be able to fulfill its financial obligations 4. Wind turbine contracts - Changes in turbine prices may impact projects profitability; Contracts should take into account the pipeline development risk 5. Pipeline development - EDPR may deliver an installed capacity different from its targets or suffer delays and/or anticipations in its installation 6. Operations - Projects may deliver a volume different from expected 28

118 RISK AREAS AND RISK RELATED STRATEGIC QUESTIONS 3.1 Countries and regulations Regulatory risks The development and profitability of renewable energy projects are subject to policies and regulatory frameworks. The jurisdictions in which EDPR operates provide numerous types of incentives that support the energy generated from renewable sources. The European Union and various US federal and state bodies have regularly reaffirmed their desire to continue and strengthen support for renewable energy sources, although due to the financial difficulties that Governments are experiencing, remuneration schemes have become less competitive in some countries. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that the current support will be maintained or that the electricity produced by future renewable energy projects will benefit from state purchase obligations, tax incentives, or other support measures for the electricity generation from renewable energy sources. Regulation promoting green energy has been revised or is being under study in a large number of regions. Management of regulatory risks EDPR is managing its exposure to regulatory risks through diversification (being present in several countries) and by being an active member in several wind associations. Sensitivity analyses to updated regulatory scenarios are also performed. 3.2 Revenues Exposure to market electricity prices EDPR faces limited market price risk as it pursues a strategy of being present in countries or regions with long term visibility on revenues. In most countries where EDPR is present, prices are determined through regulated framework mechanisms. In the markets where there is expected short term volatility in market prices, EDPR uses various financial and commodity hedging instruments in order to optimize the exposure to fluctuating electricity prices. However, it may not be possible to successfully hedge the exposures or there may be other difficulties in executing the hedging strategy. 29

119 In Europe, EDPR operates in countries where the selling price is defined by a feed-in-tariff (Spain, Portugal and France) or in markets where on top of the electricity price, EDPR receives either a pre-defined regulated premium or a green certificate, whose price is achieved on a regulated market (Spain, Belgium, Poland, and Romania). Additionally, EDPR is developing activity in Italy and UK where current incentive system is based on green certificates. Recently Italy changed to a feed in tariff from green certificates and UK is in process. In North America, EDPR is focus on developing in states which have an RPS program in place, providing higher revenues visibility through the REC (Renewable Energy Credit) market and noncompliance penalties. The North American market does not provide a regulated framework system for the electricity price although it may exist for the RECs in some states. Most of EDPR s capacity in the US has predefined prices determined by long-term contracts with local utilities in line with the Company s policy of signing long-term contracts for the output of its wind farms. In Brazilian operations, the selling price is defined through a public auction which is later translated into a long-term contract. Management of risks related to exposure to market electricity prices Under EDPR s global approach to optimize the exposure to market electricity prices, the Company evaluates on a permanent basis if there are any deviations to the defined limits (measured through EBITDA at risk), assessing in which markets financial hedges may be more effective to correct it. In 2012, in order to manage such exposure, EDPR financially hedged a significant part of its generation in Spain while in the US it closed a significant portion of its exposure through several power purchase agreements, long term hedges and financial swaps. Additionally, EDPR hedged part of the merchant generation in Poland and Romania Risk related to volatility of energy production The amount of electricity generated by EDPR from its wind farms, and therefore EDPR s profitability, is dependent on climatic conditions, which vary across the locations of the wind farms, and from season to season and year to year. Energy output at wind farms may decline if wind speed falls outside specific ranges, as turbines will only operate when wind speeds are within those ranges. Variations and fluctuations in wind conditions at wind farms may result in seasonal and other fluctuations in the amount of electricity that is generated and, consequently, in the operating results and efficiency. 30

120 Management of risks related to volatility of energy production EDPR mitigates wind resource volatility and seasonality by having a strong knowledge in the design of its wind farms and through geographical diversification in each country and in different countries of its asset base. This portfolio effect enables EDPR to offset wind variations in each area and to keep the total energy generation relatively steady. Currently, EDPR is present in 11 countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil. There exist financial products to hedge weather risk. EDPR is currently exploring the interest of contracting those products in specific cases Financing Risks related to financial market exposure EDPR is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates through financing. This risk can be mitigated by contracting fixed rates and financial instruments such as hedges and interest rate swaps. Additionally, because of its presence in several countries, currency fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on the financial results. EDPR hedges against currency fluctuations by employing natural hedging strategies, and using hedging instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts and Cross Interest Rate Swaps. EDPR s hedging efforts minimize but don t eliminate the impact of interest rate and exchange rate volatility. Management of financial risks The evolution of the financial markets is analyzed on an on-going basis in accordance to EDP Group s risk management policy approved by the EDPR`s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is responsible for the definition of general risk-management principles and the establishment of exposure limits based on the recommendation of the Risk Committee. Taking into account the risk management policy and approved exposure limits, the Finance team identifies evaluates, and submits the financial strategy appropriate to each project/location for the Board s approval. 31

121 Interest rate risk The purpose of the interest rate risk management policies is to reduce the exposure of long term debt cash flows from market fluctuations, mainly by contracting long term debt with a fixed rate, but also through the settlement of derivative financial instruments to swap from floating rate to fixed rate when long term debt is issued with floating rates. EDPR has a portfolio of interest-rate derivatives with maturities ranging from 2 to 14 years. Sensitivity analyses of the fair value of financial instruments to interest-rate fluctuations are performed. Given the policies adopted by EDPR Group, its financial cash flows are substantially independent from the fluctuation in interest rates Exchange rate risk EDPR operates internationally and is exposed to the exchange-rate risk resulting from investments in foreign subsidiaries. Currently, the main currency exposure is the U.S. dollar/euro currency fluctuation risk that results principally from our operations in the US. With the ongoing increasing capacity in others non-euro regions, EDPR is also exposed to different currencies in Poland, Romania, Brazil, United Kingdom and Canada. EDPR s general policy is the Natural Hedging in order to match currency cash flows, minimizing the impact of changes in the exchange rate and preserving value. The essence of this approach is to create financial foreign currency outflows to match equivalent foreign currency inflows Counterparty credit risk Counterparty risk is the default risk of third-parties in an agreement with EDPR either due to temporary liquidity issues or long term systemic issues. Management of counterparty credit risk EDPR s policy in terms of the counterparty credit risk on financial transactions is managed by an analysis of the technical capacity, competitiveness, credit notation and exposure to each counterparty. Counterparties in derivatives and financial transactions are restricted to high-quality credit institutions, therefore, there cannot be considered any significant risk of counterparty noncompliance and no collateral is demanded for these transactions. 32

122 3.3.3 Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that EDPR will not be able to meet its financial obligations. Management of liquidity risk EDPR s strategy to manage liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to EDPR s reputation. EDPR has a diversified financial structure composed of corporate debt and project finance, which. considers among other factors, financing cost, project ownership and project currency liquidity. Finally, EDPR uses a financial model to forecast liquidity risk in the medium and long term to meet strategic targets previously set (EBITDA, debt ratio and others). 3.4 Wind turbine contracts Wind turbine supply risk The wind turbine generator (WTG) is a key element in the development of EDPR s wind-related energy projects, as the shortfall or an unexpected sharp increase in WTG prices can create a question mark on new project s development and profitability. WTG represents on average 70 to 80% of a wind farm s capital expenditure. Management of wind turbine supply risk EDPR faces limited risk to the availability and price increase of WTG s due to the framework agreements with the major global wind turbines suppliers. The Company uses a large mix of turbines suppliers in order to diversify the wind turbine supply risk. 3.5 Pipeline development Permitting risks Wind farms are subject to strict regulations at different authority levels (international, national, state, regional and local) relating to the development, construction, grid interconnection and operation of power plants. Among other things, these laws regulate landscape and environmental aspects, building licenses, land use and land securing and access to the grid issues. 33

123 While level of exigency might be different depending on the geographies, we acknowledge a trend for legislations to align towards the most restrictive rules and development risks concentrating on the consenting (namely environmental and urbanistic aspects) and connection side. In this context, the experience EDPR is able to gather in a certain country will be useful to anticipate and deal with future similar changes in other countries. During the development and design phase, EDPR focuses on the optimization of its projects. By mastering the variables under our control, such as choice of locations, optimal lay-out, we intend to make our projects more resilient to an adverse external environment Management of permitting risk EDPR mitigates this risk by generating optionality, by having development activities in 11 different countries (Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil) with a portfolio of projects in several stages of maturity. EDPR has a large pipeline located in the most attractive regions providing a buffer to overcome potential delays in the development of new projects, ensuring growth targets and being able to compensate permitting delays in some geographies with development efforts in others. 3.6 Operations Wind turbine performance risk Wind farm output depends upon the availability and operating performance of the equipment necessary to operate it, mainly the components of wind turbines and transformers. Therefore, the risk is that the performance of the turbine does not reach its optimum thus leading to lower than expected value. Management of wind turbine performance risk EDPR mitigates this risk by using a mix of turbine suppliers which minimizes technological risk, by signing a medium-term full-scope maintenance agreement with the turbine supplier and by an adequate preventive and scheduled maintenance program. Most recently, EDPR is externalizing non core technical O&M activities of its wind farms, while primary and value added activities continue controlled by EDPR. 34

124 6. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS In line with EDPR s general risk policy and strategy EDPR uses financial derivative instruments and enters in hedging positions and transactions with the sole intent to protect against those risks and, as a consequence, mitigate fluctuations of its earnings and/or changes in its equity. The type of derivative instruments contracted and their respective fair values are described in detail as part of the note 11 to the attached Condensed Individual Financial Statements. 7. TREASURY STOCKS (OWN SHARES) At the Annual Shareholders meeting of 2010, the Board of Directors was authorized, during a term of five years from the date of the General Shareholders Meeting, for the derivative acquisition and sale of own shares by the Company and/or other affiliate companies, to the maximum limit established by the Law and in accordance with its terms. EDPR has not executed any acquisition and consequently any trade of its own shares. 8. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT (R&D) Beyond the commercial activities, EDP Renováveis supports EDP Inovação (EDPI) in developing different projects with the objective of improving competitiveness. These projects are mainly focused on solar, offshore wind and other technologies. This agreement with EDPI reinforces the long term commitment of EDPR to support R&D activities in areas related with its business. 35

125 9. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT EDPR is a leading company in renewable energy. We produce clean and green energy, energy without emissions. Our strategy towards the environment is based in four pillars: the generation of CO 2 -free energy, a strategy to minimize impacts during the life-cycle of our wind farms, a culture of respect for the biodiversity and a culture of responsibility and recycling in our offices. Climate Change Strategy Our portfolio of 8 GW of installed capacity contributes every year to the worldwide fight against climate change. We significantly improve local and global air quality by mitigating emissions that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere due to the operation of other kinds of energy generation based on fossil fuels. During 2012, EDPR has produced 18.4 TWh that is estimated to avoid the emission of 14,521 thousand tons of CO2. 36

126 CO 2 avoided (thousand tons) 1 7,241 9,612 12,093 14, Estimated as: [production x country emission factors] The company growth plans of pure renewable energy represent a solid commitment to foster the use of green energy sources. Moreover, we are committed to support the use the best technologies available in order to preserve natural resources and reduce pollution. Environmental Strategy In order to protect the environment, we complement our strategy of fighting against climate change with an environmentally responsible management of our wind farms. This strategy is supported by the Environmental and Biodiversity policies based on EDP Group s Guidelines that were approved by EDPR Executive Committee. Our policies reflect a responsible management of the environment along the whole value chain. From the very early stages of project development when it is critical to perform environmental and cultural feasibility studies to the decommissioning of our wind farms where our environmental strategy includes a waste management plan, environmental monitoring plans and habitat restoration. All this process is supported by an extensive local knowledge that allows us to ensure environmental compliance during the project life cycle. Moreover, EDPR pursues to minimize impacts on the eco-system. When impacts cannot be prevented, we implement compensation measures, including partnerships with environmental associations aimed at achieving a globally positive biodiversity balance. Nevertheless, wind farms are typically constructed in rural areas where wind resource is abundant and the operation of wind farms is compatible with current land use. Once construction is complete, less than 1% of the total project area is taken out of permanent production, and its change of use is approved by the competent authorities. 37

127 The primary use of this land is for access roads to the wind turbine locations, a small area for the wind turbine and electrical transformer, and a gravelled pad area for a crane to be used in construction and maintenance activities. Environmental Management System and ISO certification To guarantee the proper management of the environmental aspects and compliance with applicable environmental legislation, EDPR initiated in 2008 the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS). The EMS covers, among others, the procedures applicable to all wind farms in operation to establish operational controls, monitoring and measurements of the relevant environmental aspects. Environment surveillance is carried out periodically to assess the significance of the environmental aspects. The frequency of further surveillances is established in the monitoring plan given the assessment made. There are a few cases in which the surveillance is performed on a daily basis. In Europe, the EMS has been ISO 14001:2004 certified. By the end of 2012, all EDPR European wind farms that have been in service before June 2012 and operated by EDPR have been certified, accounting for MW, about 50% of EDPR installed capacity. MW Certified ISO 14001:2004 3,664 2,

128 10. HUMAN CAPITAL One of the main competitive advantages that leads EDPR to deliver, year after year, exceptional operational results is the company s human capital. A young world class team with excellent qualifications and an extensive local knowledge. EDPR s capacity to attract and retain this qualified workforce has been of vital importance to develop and retain a strong know-how essential to deliver on its strategy. HUMAN CAPITAL SNAPSHOT In 2012, EDPR employed 861 people, 32% of which are located in North America and Brazil, while 68% work in Europe. Of our employees, 99% have an undetermined contract. HEADCOUNT AT YEAR-END % 16% 23% 2% 33% 29% 49% 46% Europe North America Corporate Brazil Note: Figures do not include the members of the Board of Directors, except three members of the Executive Committee We have a qualified and diverse team aligned with our business strategy, 72% of which hold university degrees and 71% are less than 40 years old. This deep pool of highly qualified talent has supported EDPR s exponential growth and provides the optimal base to face future opportunities and challenges. Additionally, our people strongly reflect EDPR s energy and enthusiasm. 39

130 EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION The satisfaction of our employees has been one of the key drivers to retain our highly qualified workforce. Providing one of the best workplaces in the regions where we are present increases our employees pride and ownership feeling for the company. It is also a great communication channel to transmit our values to potential new hires. Therefore, at EDPR we pursue and have obtained different certifications that confirm our distinction as one of the best places to work. Great Place to Work In 2012, EDPR was included in the Great Place to Work (GPTW) ranking in Spain. This was achieved following a survey sent to the company s employees, by an independent body, asking for their opinion on many factors of company life. Despite being the first time we applied to be included in this ranking, EDPR ranked among the top six best companies to work in Spain, in the 250 to 500 employees category. Top Workplace in the US EDPR in 2012 was voted a top workplace in the US for the third year in a row. More than 72,500 Houston-area employees weighed in with opinions for this year s Houston Chronicle s Top Workplaces section rating their companies in such areas as opportunities for advancement, the value of their pay and benefits, and their bosses communication and management skills. COMPENSATION POLICY AND OTHER BENEFITS We are committed to offer a competitive compensation and benefits package to recognize the work and talent of our employees, with no distinctions between full time and part time employees. Our compensation policy addresses the needs of every local market, with enough flexibility to adapt to the specifics of each region. It is based on a fixed base, complemented by a variable component that depends on a performance evaluation measured against company performance, area, and individual KPIs. We support our remunerations package with multiple benefits and a Flexible Remuneration Package, which allows our employees to benefit from tax incentives according to local legislation. In addition, we reached agreements with local partners, to offer our employees discounts on specific products. 41

131 WORK LIFE BALANCE One of our main focuses continues to be the promotion and encouragement of work-life balance of our employees. This pursuit increases our employee s satisfaction, while boosting their productivity, commitment and accountability. EDPR implemented work-life balance programs throughout its geographies and aims constantly at improving and providing additional benefits. Benefits in the work-life balance program are specific and include, among others depending on the geographies, subsidies for employees children to perform summer activities, additional paid leave to extend parental leave or to celebrate the birthday and others. In 2011, EDPR has been recognized with the Family-Responsible Employer Certification (Empresa Familiarmente Responsable), for its work-life balance practices in Spain. During 2012, our practices have been audited, as part of the certification renewal process performed every two years. The results of the audit process confirmed the excellence of the current management model, as well as the compliance with the certification standards. There was a special mention in the audit outcome to the efforts continuous improvement of the company s practices, which should be positively reflected in future evaluations. Ensuring that employees have time for family and friends is one of the pillars to achieve a healthy work-life balance. During 2012, we hosted activities for employees children. We wanted them to visit our offices and see where their parents work. These activities took place in Europe and in the US along the year. VOLUNTEERING As a sustainable company that is proud of being an active member of our many communities, our employees are encouraged to actively participate in their communities and to be responsive and aware of emerging needs through many volunteering initiatives. Moreover, our volunteering practices create an environment both within the company and in the communities where we do business that is more open to near ideas, supportive of individual differences and embodies what is best in volunteerism. 42

132 To engage in our volunteering programs, employees can participate in several campaigns, by donating, or by engaging in several activities, during working hours or during the weekends. In the US, there is a Volunteering Committee that plans periodic activities aimed at generating a positive impact in society. EDPR strives to train and prepare its top quality team, with a clear focus on tackling the challenges and opportunities of the future. To do so, EDPR has implemented a strong training, development and mobility strategy. With these efforts, we want to preserve the excellence of the company s human capital, while offering our people an attractive career development plan with opportunities for professional growth. MOBILITY To support company s global growth strategy, mobility is of upmost importance as a powerful tool to share EDPR culture and best practices with new markets where we plan to enter. In addition, it also opens new horizons to our employees in their career development. During 2012, we initiated a process to facilitate employees access to those opportunities that better match their career plans. Employees were encouraged to update their professional experience information and their preferences regarding mobility. This information was processed in order to identify different profiles within the company, preparing for the forthcoming mobility requirements. In the following years, new open positions within the company will be matched with the generated profiles, in order to prioritize internal movement with those employees whose competencies, training and mobility preferences match the requirements for the new position. TRAINING When defining our strategy for the future, we strive to align current and future demands of the organization with employees capabilities while fulfilling their professional development expectations and supporting their continued employability. We are committed to offer our employees an attractive career plan, as well as continuous education and training opportunities. All of EDPR employees, regardless of their professional category, are evaluated yearly to determine the potential for development, thus creating a tailored development plan with the 43

133 most suitable training to address their particular needs. The potential assessment process is independent from performance appraisal and is based on a 360 degree evaluation model in which the system collects information from several data sources to evaluate employee performance: oneself, peers, subordinates and manager. In 2012, the number of attendances to training sessions increased to 2,270, representing 2.93 attendances to training courses per employee. On the other hand, the total number of training hours decreased to 14,611, as a result of a change of profile of training to more focused, shorter courses. Training Metrics % Number of training hours (#) 14,611 17,873-18% Training investment (k ) 924 1,033-11% Number of attendances (#) 2,270 2,004 13% Note: Training from Portugal and Brazil is reported by EDP and, as a result, not included Note 2: Metrics do not include language training. In 2012, language training accounted for 2,713 hours and 166 attendances, while in 2011 language training represented 20,123 hours and 1,681 attendances. Renewable Energy School - EDP University In the coming years, the Renewable Energy School will gain relevance as a tool aimed at facilitating know-how sharing and providing employees with an overview of the strategic challenges that the company faces. The Renewable Energy School was created in 2011, in the context of the EDP University, and since its creation, it has proven to be a success, delivering 23 training sessions (representing 229 hours) to 389 attendants. The School also fostered strategic discussion with a workshop prepared during 2012 involving directors from different areas across the company. And our business partners have also contributed to the objective of our school through collaborative courses, such as a specific training session in offshore wind energy held with Repsol and other collaborations with EDP University. High Potential Program Our training strategy is also focused on boost career development of our high potential employees, as we want them to become the future leaders to carry EDPR to the next level. With this objective, during 2012, we continued offering those employees a specific training program named High-Potential Program (HIPO). Through the HIPO, those employees are assisted in their professional development with the support of a mentor that will provide employees with guidance in their careers, and specific training to develop the required soft skills to grow professionally within the company. 44

134 Leadership Guide Effective leadership is a pre-requisite for success and company s development. During 2012, EDPR provided its management with top leadership training, spanning topics from leadership responsibilities to leadership style. The training sessions held for this purpose were an excellent forum to share leadership experiences. When defining our strategy for the future, we strive to align current and future demands of the organization with employees capabilities while fulfilling their professional development expectations and supporting their continued employability. We are committed to offer our employees an attractive career plan, as well as continuous education and training opportunities. RECRUITING In order to fuel future growth, increase efficiency and drive innovation, EDPR is constantly scanning globally to recruit top talent. To this extent a recruiting strategy has been developed to achieve this critical goal, while ensuring that new hires are aligned with the company s values: Team Oriented Environment: EDPR promotes an environment based on team building. Career Development: EDPR recognizes the importance of career development and helps employees acquire knowledge and master the business. The Company recognizes and rewards employees for their innovation, hard work and performance. Diversity: EDPR has a diverse team, with employees from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures.

136 11. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 11.1 Model of Management and Supervision EDP Renováveis, has adopted the governance structure in effect in Spain. It comprises a General Shareholders Meeting and a Board of Directors that represents and manages the company. The Company s Board of Directors has set up four committees. These are the Executive Committee, the Audit and Control Committee, the Nominations and Remunerations Committee, Related-Party Transactions Committee. The governance model of EDPR is designed to ensure the transparency, meticulous separation of duties and the specialization of supervision. The purpose of the choice of this model by EDPR is to adapt the Company s corporate governance structure to the Portuguese legislation. The governance model adopted by EDPR therefore seeks, as it is compatible with its personal law, to correspond to the so-called Anglo-Saxon model set forth in the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, in which the management body is a Board of Directors, and the supervision and control duties are of the responsibility of an Audit and Control Committee. The choice of this model complies with the purpose of establishing compatibility between two different systems of company law, which could be considered applicable to the model. The experience of institutional operating indicates that the governance model adopted by the shareholders is appropriate to the corporate organisation of EDP Renováveis activity, especially because it affords transparency and healthy balance between the management functions of the Executive Committee, the supervisory functions of the Audit and Control Committee and oversight by different specialised Board of Directors committees. The institutional and functional relationship between the Executive Committee, the Audit and Control Committee and the other non-executive members of the Board of Directors has been harmony conducive to the development of the company s business. In order to ensure a better understanding of EDP Renováveis corporate governance by its shareholders, the Company posts its updated Articles of Association at 47

137 11.2 Governing Bodies General Meeting of Shareholders The General Meeting of Shareholders, when properly convened, has the power to decide and adopt majority decisions on matters that the law and the Articles of Association set forth that it should be decided and be submitted for its approval Board of Directors The Board of Directors has the broadest powers for the management and governance of the Company, with no limitations other than the competences expressly allocated exclusively to the General Shareholders Meeting by law or the Articles of Association.

The above table reflects the composition of the Board of Directors as of December 31st, However, pursuant to the Nominations and Remunerations Committee proposal dated February 22nd, 2013, three (3) new independent Directors have been appointed by co-optation by the Board of Director s meeting on February 26th, Additionally, in such meeting, the Board of Directors summon a General Shareholders Meeting, which includes, in its agenda, the ratification of such appointments. 48

138 With the mechanisms set forth in the regulations of the Board of Directors and its Committees, the, non-executive Directors have encountered no difficulties in performing their duties. In 2012, the non-executive Directors were involved in the governance of EDPR not only by participating in meetings of the Board of Directors, where they gave their opinions on different company matters, made any suggestions they saw fit and took decisions on matters submitted to them, but also by working on the Nominations and Remunerations Committee, on the Related-Party Transactions Committee and the Audit and Control Committee, where all the members are non-executive, with the exception of the Related-Party Transactions Committee, which has one executive Director, Mr. Nuno Maria Pestana de Almeida Alves Summarized Organization Chart Executive Committee Emilio García-Conde General Secretary and General Counsel João Manso Neto CEO Corporate and Management Areas Human Resources Communication Corporate Services Regulation & Markets Global Risk Strategy Business Initiatives Technical Corporate Applications & Processes Technical Legal Lean Renewable Energy School Nuno Alves Rui Teixeira CFO João Paulo Costeira COO EU Gabriel Alonso COO NA Corporate and Management Areas Financial Management Consolidation, IFRS Report and Tax Financial Planning and Control Investor Relations & Sustainablity Procurement * Investment Analysis & M&A EDPR Europe EDPR Brasil EDPR North America Delegated by the CEO 49

Code of Ethics and Ethics Channel EDPR has a Code of Ethics published on its intranet, which includes principles like transparency, honesty, integrity, nondiscrimination, equal opportunity, and sustainability. The Code of Ethics has been widely circulated among employees of the Group through internal communications mechanisms, individual shipments, delivery to new employees, and intranet publishing. There is a strong commitment by the Company in relation to the dissemination and promotion of compliance with the Code available to all employees through training, questionnaires, and open discussions of the findings There is also an Ethics Channel and Ethics Regulation to articulate any specific claims of the Code of Ethics and to resolve doubts on all matters relating to the Code of Ethics. Communications regarding possible breaches of the Code of Ethics are sent to the Ethics Ombudsman, which performs a first analysis, forwarding its conclusion to the Ethics Committee of EDPR, which receives, records, processes, and reports to the Board of Directors. In 2012 there were no communications to the Ethics Ombudsmen regarding any irregularity at EDPR. Communication Channel to the Audit and Control Committee In addition to the Code of Ethics and the Ethics Channel, EDPR has implemented a Communication Channel to the Audit and Control Committee that allows direct communication with the Audit and Control Committee of any inappropriate practices in accounting and finance. The operation of this Communication Channel is regulated by the Regulation on procedures to be adopted in communication matters to the Audit and Control Committee. Submissions can be made by or letter, being handled by the Secretary of the Audit and Control Committee. To ensure confidentiality, access to information submitted is restricted and limited. Scope Revision and Update The SCIRF Manual includes the annual update of the scope that aims to identify companies, areas, and processes that must be included in the scope of SCIRF, according to criteria of materiality and risk, including the risk of error or fraud. The risk analysis included in the scoping process for SCIRF, includes different types of risk (operational, economic, financial, technological, or legal) and control objectives of financial reporting (existence and occurrence, completeness, measurement, presentation, disclosure, comparability, and rights, and obligations in terms of their potential impact on the financial statements).

168 The results of the updated scope with the methodology outlined are communicated at all levels of the organization involved in the SCIRF and supervised by the Audit and Control Committee. Preparation, review and approval of financial information In documented SCIRF processes and controls, information capture mechanisms are established (including identification of the scope of consolidation). The steps and controls that are carried out for the preparation of the financial information that will be part of consolidated financial statements are specified. The procedures for review and approval of financial information are provided by the areas of Planning and Control, Administration, and Finance. Financial information is monitored in the scope of its competences by the Audit and Control Committee, prior to the formulation of the accounts by the Board of Directors.. The SCIRF includes control activities related to these processes, embodied in Entity Level Controls, Process Controls, and General Computer Controls. These processes include review and approval activities of the financial information which are described in the processes of elaboration of individual accounts, preparation of consolidated accounts, and processing of consolidated financial statements. EDPR has descriptions of Competency Profiles for the Positions to be carried out in the exercise of the main features of each position that includes a description of their main responsibilities. These include the descriptions of the key positions of those involved in the preparation of financial information. These descriptions include responsibilities in the preparation of financial information and compliance with internal control procedures. The documentation of processes and associated controls designed include among others, the completion of closure activities by completing monthly closing checklists by entity, setting time limits for the closures, the identification of the relevance of the operations in order to be reviewed at the appropriate level, conducting analytical reviews of financial information, the existence of limitations in systems to prevent erroneous records or by unauthorized people, analysis of deviations from the budget, the analysis in the meetings of the Executive Committee of relevant and significant facts that could cause a significant impact on the accounts, or the allocation of responsibilities for calculating amounts to be provisioned for them to be carried out by authorized personnel with the right skills. In addition to the mentioned processes, major transactional processes resulting from the scope are documented. The description of the activities and controls are designed with the aim of ensuring the registration, evaluation, appropriate presentation, and disclosure of transactions in financial reporting. Control activities of EDPR s SCIRF also include those relating to systems and information technology (Computer General Controls) following an international reference, the COBIT framework (Control Objectives for Information and related Technologies). The importance of this area is that the information systems are the tools with which financial information is prepared, and is therefore, relevant for transactions conducted with them. These control activities include those related to access control to applications and systems, segregation of duties, management of corrective and evolutive maintenance, new projects implementation, administration and management of the systems, facilities and operations (back-ups, security incidents), and their proper monitoring and planning. These activities are developed taking into account the requirements of control and supervision. Among the activities of SCIRF s scope update, there is a periodic analysis of the existence of service providers that perform relevant activities in relation to the processes of preparing financial information. Evaluation of the efficiency of SCIRF EDPR Group decided to have its SCIRF audited by the external auditor as of December 31 st, The external auditor has included in the scope of their audit work, an opinion on the SCIRF of the EDPR Group, specific jobs regarding EDPR s SCIRF. B. RISK MANAGEMENT EDPR s risk framework was designed to not be a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities and processes of the company, but to be part of the responsibilities of management as an integrating element of all organizational processes, including strategic planning. RISK FRAMEWORK AND PROCESS In EDPR s risk framework, risk process aims to link the company s overall strategy to manager s day-to-day decisions, enabling the company to increase the likelihood of achieving its strategic objectives. EDPR s general strategy is translated into major strategic questions that are grouped by risk area and then subject to EDPR s risk process. The outcome of the risk process is a set of specific guidelines per risk area that will guide managers in their decisions according to the company s risk profile.

169 ANNUAL REPORT 2012 corporate governance II.6 RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY BODIES ON THE INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS A. INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS General Description The administration, governance, and management of the company lies in the governing bodies of the Company (General Shareholders Meeting, Board of Directors, and Executive Committee) and corresponds to the Board of Directors to establish the organization of the Company. The Board of Directors sets limits regarding the allocation of powers of the Executive Committee, the CEO, and the Audit and Control Committee. It is also defined by the Board of Directors the guide lines to conduct transactions with third parties. EDPR's Articles of Association in its Article 28 mentions that the Audit and Control Committee has, among other powers, the obligation to meet the internal control systems of the Company. The Audit and Control Committeee supervises the SCIRF in the scope of the exercise of their activities through the monitoring and supervision of the developed mechanisms for SCIRF s implementation, evolution and evaluation, and the results of the scope analysiss and the extent of the situation in terms of coverage. For this purpose, the Audit and Control Committee is assisted by the Internal Audit Department. EDPR has an Internal Audit Department that reports to the President of the Board of Directors and is overseen by the Audit and Control Committee as provided in the Basic Internal Audit Act. The main functions of the Internal Audit Department are set out in the Basic Internal Audit Act which includes, among others, the evaluation activities of internal control systems including the internal control system over financial reporting. The annual work plans of the Internal Audit Department are subject to the approval of the Audit and Control Committee. Among these activities, Internal Audit supports the Audit and Control Committee in monitoring the implementation and maintenance of SCIRF and reports the results of the evaluation, the improvement actions identified, and their evolution. The entity has action plans for the improvement actions identified in SCIRF s assessment processes, which are accompanied and supervised by the Internal Audit Department, considering their impact on the financial information. Also in the year 2012, as in previous years, a process of self- of the various process certification was made by the heads owners regarding proper documentation update on SCIRF controls and processes in their areaa of responsibility and the implementation of controls with corresponding evidence. Performance evaluation of SCIRF and relevance to the needs of society The auditor may communicate relevant issues arising from its financial audit work and any single internal control weaknesses identified in the course of their work. For this purpose, the auditor has summoned meetings with the Audit and Control Committee accompanying the results of their work usually once a year. The reporting mechanism of the Internal Audit Department to senior management and the Audit and Control Committee is specified in the Basic Internal Audit Act, including the reporting of the results of their work. B. RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS RISK FUNCTIONS AND RISK COMMITTEE Risk management in EDPR is supported by three distinct organizational functions: EDPR s risk framework was designed to not be a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities and processes of the company, but to be part of the responsibilities of management as an integrating element of all organizational processes, including strategic planning. RISK FRAMEWORK AND PROCESS In EDPR s risk framework, risk process aims to link the company s overall strategy to manager s day-to-day decisions, enabling the company to increase the likelihood of achieving its strategic objectives. EDPR s general strategy is translated into major strategic questions that are grouped by risk area and then subject to EDPR s risk process. The outcome of the risk process is a set of specific guidelines per risk area that will guide managers in their decisions according to the company s risk profile.

170 II.7 REGULATIONS ON THE FUNCTIONING OF THE GOVERNING BODIES All EDPR governing bodies and special committees have internal Regulations which are available to the public on the company s website at SECTION II BOARD OF DIRECTORS II.8 EXECUTIVE POWERS OF THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Chairperson of EDPR s Board of Directors does not have executive duties. II.9 MAIN ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL, AND LEGAL RISKS RISK AREAS AND RISK RELATED STRATEGIC QUESTIONS The following list summarizes the main risk areas and descriptions of EDPR s business: 1. Countries & regulations - Changes in regulations may impact EDPR s business in a given country 2. Revenues - Revenues received by EDPR s projects may diverge from what is expected 3. Financing - EDPR may not be able to raise enough cash to finance its planned Capex; EDPR may not be able to fulfill its financial obligations 4. Wind turbine contracts - Changes in turbine prices may impact projects profitability; Contracts should take into account the pipeline development risk 5. Pipeline development - EDPR may deliver an installed capacity different from its targets or suffer delays and/or anticipations in its installation 6. Operations - Projects may deliver a volume different from expected II.9.1 Countries and regulations II Regulatory risks The development and profitability of renewable energy projects are subject to policies and regulatory frameworks. The jurisdictions in which EDPR operates provide numerous types of incentives that support the energy generated from renewable sources. The European Union and various US federal and state bodies have regularly reaffirmed their desire to continue and strengthen support for renewable energy sources, although due to the financial difficulties that Governments are experiencing, remuneration schemes have become less competitive in some countries. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that the current support will be maintained or that the electricity produced by future renewable energy projects will benefit from state purchase obligations, tax incentives, or other support measures for the electricity generation from renewable energy sources. Regulation promoting green energy has been revised or is being under study in a large number of regions. Management of regulatory risks EDPR is managing its exposure to regulatory risks through diversification (being present in several countries) and by being an active member in several wind associations. Sensitivity analyses to updated regulatory scenarios are also performed. II.9.2 Revenues II Exposure to market electricity prices EDPR faces limited market price risk as it pursues a strategy of being present in countries or regions with long term visibility on revenues. In most countries where EDPR is present, prices are determined through regulated framework mechanisms. In the markets where there is expected short term volatility in market prices, EDPR uses various financial and commodity hedging instruments in order to optimize the exposure to fluctuating electricity prices. However, it may not be possible to successfully hedge the exposures or there may be other difficulties in executing the hedging strategy. In Europe, EDPR operates in countries where the selling price is defined by a feed-in-tariff (Spain, Portugal and France) or in markets where on top of the electricity price, EDPR receives either a pre-defined regulated premium or a green certificate, whose price is achieved on a regulated market (Spain, Belgium, Poland, and Romania). Additionally, EDPR is developing activity in Italy and UK where current incentive system is based on green certificates. Recently Italy changed to a feed in tariff from green certificates and UK is in process. In North America, EDPR is focus on developing in states which have an RPS program in place, providing higher revenues visibility through the REC (Renewable Energy Credit) market and non-compliance penalties. The North American market does not provide a regulated framework system for the electricity price although it may exist for the RECs in some states. Most of EDPR s capacity in the US has predefined prices determined by long-term contracts with local utilities in line with the Company s policy of signing long-term contracts for the output of its wind farms. In Brazilian operations, the selling price is defined through a public auction which is later translated into a long-term contract. Management of risks related to exposure to market electricity prices Under EDPR s global approach to optimize the exposure to market electricity prices, the Company evaluates on a permanent basis if there are any deviations to the defined limits (measured through EBITDA at risk), assessing in which markets financial hedges may be more effective to correct it. In 2012, in order to manage such exposure, EDPR financially hedged a significant part of its generation in Spain while in the US it closed a significant portion of its exposure through several power purchase agreements, long term hedges and financial swaps. Additionally, EDPR hedged part of the merchant generation in Poland and Romania.

171 ANNUAL REPORT 2012 corporate governance II Risk related to volatility of energy production The amount of electricity generated by EDPR from its wind farms, and therefore EDPR s profitability, is dependent on climatic conditions, which vary across the locations of the wind farms, and from season to season and year to year. Energy output at wind farms may decline if wind speed falls outside specific ranges, as turbines will only operate when wind speeds are within those ranges. Variations and fluctuations in wind conditions at wind farms may result in seasonal and other fluctuations in the amount of electricity that is generated and, consequently, in the operating results and efficiency. Management of risks related to volatility of energy production EDPR mitigates wind resource volatility and seasonality by having a strong knowledge in the design of its wind farms and through geographical diversification in each country and in different countries of its asset base. This portfolio effect enables EDPR to offset wind variations in each area and to keep the total energy generation relatively steady. Currently, EDPR is present in 11 countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil. There exist financial products to hedge weather risk. EDPR is currently exploring the interest of contracting those products in specific cases. II.9.3. Financing II Risks related to financial market exposure EDPR is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates through financing. This risk can be mitigated by contracting fixed rates and financial instruments such as hedges and interest rate swaps. Additionally, because of its presence in several countries, currency fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on the financial results. EDPR hedges against currency fluctuations by employing natural hedging strategies, and using hedging instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts and Cross Interest Rate Swaps. EDPR s hedging efforts minimize but don t eliminate the impact of interest rate and exchange rate volatility. Management of financial risks The evolution of the financial markets is analyzed on an ongoing basis in accordance to EDP Group s risk management policy approved by the EDPR`s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is responsible for the definition of general risk-management principles and the establishment of exposure limits based on the recommendation of the Risk Committee. Taking into account the risk management policy and approved exposure limits, the Finance team identifies evaluates, and submits the financial strategy appropriate to each project/location for the Board s approval. II Interest rate risk The purpose of the interest rate risk management policies is to reduce the exposure of long term debt cash flows from market fluctuations, mainly by contracting long term debt with a fixed rate, but also through the settlement of derivative financial instruments to swap from floating rate to fixed rate when long term debt is issued with floating rates. EDPR has a portfolio of interest-rate derivatives with maturities ranging from 2 to 14 years. Sensitivity analyses of the fair value of financial instruments to interest-rate fluctuations are performed. Given the policies adopted by EDPR Group, its financial cash flows are substantially independent from the fluctuation in interest rates. II Exchange rate risk EDPR operates internationally and is exposed to the exchange-rate risk resulting from investments in foreign subsidiaries. Currently, the main currency exposure is the U.S. dollar/euro currency fluctuation risk that results principally from our operations in the US. With the ongoing increasing capacity in others non-euro regions, EDPR is also exposed to different currencies in Poland, Romania, Brazil, United Kingdom and Canada. EDPR s general policy is the Natural Hedging in order to match currency cash flows, minimizing the impact of changes in the exchange rate and preserving value. The essence of this approach is to create financial foreign currency outflows to match equivalent foreign currency inflows. II Counterparty credit risk Counterparty risk is the default risk of third-parties in an agreement with EDPR either due to temporary liquidity issues or long term systemic issues. Management of counterparty credit risk EDPR s policy in terms of the counterparty credit risk on financial transactions is managed by an analysis of the technical capacity, competitiveness, credit notation and exposure to each counterparty. Counterparties in derivatives and financial transactions are restricted to high-quality credit institutions, therefore, there cannot be considered any significant risk of counterparty non-compliance and no collateral is demanded for these transactions. II Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that EDPR will not be able to meet its financial obligations. Management of liquidity risk EDPR s strategy to manage liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to EDPR s

172 reputation. EDPR has a diversified financial structure composed of corporate debt and project finance, which. considers among other factors, financing cost, project ownership and project currency liquidity. Finally, EDPR uses a financial model to forecast liquidity risk in the medium and long term to meet strategic targets previously set (EBITDA, debt ratio and others). II.9.4 Wind turbine contracts II Wind turbine supply risk The wind turbine generator (WTG) is a key element in the development of EDPR s wind-related energy projects, as the shortfall or an unexpected sharp increase in WTG prices can create a question mark on new project s development and profitability. WTG represents on average 70 to 80% of a wind farm s capital expenditure. Management of wind turbine supply risk EDPR faces limited risk to the availability and price increase of WTG s due to the framework agreements with the major global wind turbines suppliers. The Company uses a large mix of turbines suppliers in order to diversify the wind turbine supply risk. potential delays in the development of new projects, ensuring growth targets and being able to compensate permitting delays in some geographies with development efforts in others. II.9.6 Operations II Wind turbine performance risk Wind farm output depends upon the availability and operating performance of the equipment necessary to operate it, mainly the components of wind turbines and transformers. Therefore, the risk is that the performance of the turbine does not reach its optimum thus leading to lower than expected value. Management of wind turbine performance risk EDPR mitigates this risk by using a mix of turbine suppliers which minimizes technological risk, by signing a mediumterm full-scope maintenance agreement with the turbine supplier and by an adequate preventive and scheduled maintenance program. Most recently, EDPR is externalizing non core technical O&M activities of its wind farms, while primary and value added activities continue controlled by EDPR. II.9.5 Pipeline development II Permitting risks Wind farms are subject to strict regulations at different authority levels (international, national, state, regional and local) relating to the development, construction, grid interconnection and operation of power plants. Among other things, these laws regulate landscape and environmental aspects, building licenses, land use and land securing and access to the grid issues. While level of exigency might be different depending on the geographies, we acknowledge a trend for legislations to align towards the most restrictive rules and development risks concentrating on the consenting (namely environmental and urbanistic aspects) and connection side. In this context, the experience EDPR is able to gather in a certain country will be useful to anticipate and deal with future similar changes in other countries. During the development and design phase, EDPR focuses on the optimization of its projects. By mastering the variables under our control, such as choice of locations, optimal layout, we intend to make our projects more resilient to an adverse external environment Management of permitting risk EDPR mitigates this risk by generating optionality, by having development activities in 11 different countries (Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil) with a portfolio of projects in several stages of maturity. EDPR has a large pipeline located in the most attractive regions providing a buffer to overcome II.10 POWERS GRANTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, NAMELY REGARDING SHARE CAPITAL INCREASE The Board of Directors is vested with broad-ranging powers of administration, management, and governance of the Company without limitation, except for the powers specifically assigned to General Shareholders Meeting in the Articles of Association or other applicable law.

All other powers specifically attributed to the Board in the Articles of Association or by law, this enumeration being merely indicative but in no way restrictive. In order to guarantee that the common interests of the Company and those of its subsidiaries and group companies are properly served, the Board of Directors shall act at all times in coordination with those companies B. Regarding the decisions to increase the share capital, the Board of Directors does not have this power but, subject to prior delegation from the General Shareholders Meeting, would be able to decide the increase of the share capital. This delegation must comply with the law and the By-Laws. On the other hand, the General Shareholders Meeting may also delegate to the Board of Directors the power to implement an adopted decision to increase the share capital, indicating the date or dates of its implementation and establishing any other conditions that have not been specified by the General Shareholders Meeting. The Board of Directors may use this delegation wholly or in part and may also decide not to perform it in consideration of the conditions of the Company, the market, or any particularly relevant events or circumstances that justify said decision, of which the General Shareholders Meeting must be informed at the end of the time limit or limits for performing it. II.11 RULES REGARDING THE NOMINATION AND DISCHARGE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE POLICY OF PORTFOLIO ROTATION The Nominations and Remunerations Committee, according to its Regulations, presents to the Board of Directors a proposal with the names of the candidates that the Committee considers having the best qualities to fulfill the role of Board Member. The Board of Directors presents the proposal at the General Shareholders Meeting that will approve the proposal by majority for an initial period of three (3) years and may re-elect these members once or more times for further periods of three (3) years. Nonetheless, pursuant to Article 23 of the Articles of Association and 243 of the Spanish Companies Law, shareholders wishing so, may group their shares until they constitute an amount of capital equal or higher than the result of dividing it by the number of Directors and nominate those that, using only whole fractions, are deducted from the corresponding proportion. Those making use of this power cannot intervene in the nomination of the other members of the Board of Directors. In case of a vacancy, pursuant to Article 23 of the Articles of Association and 243 of the Spanish Companies Law, the Board of Directors may co-opt people from the shareholders, who will occupy the position until the next General Shareholders Meeting, which shall ratify the coopted Director. Pursuant to Article 247 of the Spanish Companies Law, the co-option of Directors, as for other Board decisions, must be approved by absolute majority of the Directors at the meeting. According to the Spanish Law and the Spanish companies practices, the daily management of the business is guaranteed by a Chief Executive Officer who is empowered to ensure the day-to-day management of the company. This type of organization is different from what occurs on the Portuguese companies in which a conselho de administracão executivo takes the assignment of areas of business and each executive director is responsible to and for an area of business. II.12 NUMBER OF MEETINGS OF THE MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY BODIES The Board of Directors held six (6) meetings during the year ending on December 31 st, Minutes of all meetings were drawn up. In 2012, the Audit and Control Committee held fourteen (14) meetings, six of those meetings were plenary and the other eight were with the different departments whose activity development were discussed with the Committee.

II.17 ACTIVITY OF THE NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS EDPR s Annual Management Report of 2012 includes a description of the activity taken out by the non-executive directors and possible constraints detected. With the mechanisms set forth in the regulations, non-executive Directors have encountered no difficulties in performing their duties. In 2012, the non-executive Directors were involved in the governance of EDPR not only by participating in meetings of the Board of Directors, where they gave their opinions on different company matters, made any suggestions they saw fit, and took decisions on matters submitted to them, but also by working on the Nominations and Remunerations Committee, on the Related-Party Transactions Committee, and the Audit and Control Committee, where all the members are non-executive with the exception of the Related-Party Transactions Committee, which has one executive Director, Mr. Nuno Maria Pestana de Almeida Alves. II.18 BIOGRAPHIES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Annex IV of the Report gives a brief description of the Directors professional and academic careers. II.19 ROLES HELD BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN OTHER COMPANIES The positions held by the members of the Board in the last five (5) years, those that they currently hold, and positions in Group and non-group companies are listed in Annexes I, II and III, respectively. Also, the shares of EDPR owned by each Director are described in the table in Annex V. SECTION III GENERAL AND SUPERVISORY BOARD, COMMITTEE FOR FINANCIAL MATTERS, AUDIT COMMITTEE, AND FISCAL COUNCIL Information as provided for in Chapters II.20. to II.23. of CMVM Regulation no. 1/2010 does not apply to EDPR. The governance model adopted by EDPR, as it is compatible with its personal law, corresponds to the so-called Anglo-Saxon model set forth in the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, in which the management body is a Board of Directors, and the supervision and control duties are of the responsibility of an Audit and Control Committee.

177 II.24 EVALUATION OF THE EXTERNAL AUDITOR The Audit and Control Committee is responsible for proposing to the Board of Directors for submission to the General Shareholders Meeting the nomination of the Company auditors, the terms of their contracts, scope of their duties, and revocation and renewal of their contracts. In order to protect the External Auditor independence, the following competences of the Audit and Control Committee were exercised during 2011: Direct and exclusive supervision from the Audit and Control Committee; Evaluation of the qualifications, independence, and performance of the External Auditor and the annual report from the External Auditor regarding the information of all existing relations between the Company and the Auditors or people related to them, including all the services rendered and all the services in course. The Audit and Control Committee, in order to evaluate its independence, obtained from the External Auditor information regarding their independence according to Portuguese Decree-Law n.º 224/2008, November 20 th, that changes the Articles of Association of the External Auditors Association; Revision of the transparency report signed by the External Auditor and published on their website. This report is about a group of subjects regulated on article 62º-A from the Portuguese Decree-Law n.º 224/2008, mainly related to the Internal Control System and to the process of quality control realized by the competent entities; Analysis with the External Auditor of the scope, planning, and resources to use on the services provided. In 2012, according to the Audit and Control Committee s competences and in line with Recommendations II.4.4 and II.4.5, it was the first and direct recipient and the corporate body in charge of the permanent contact with the external auditor on matters that may pose a risk to their independence and any other matters related to the auditing of accounts. It also receives and stores information on any other matters provided for in legislation on audits and in auditing standards in effect at any time. The Audit and Control Committee assessed the performance of the external auditor in providing the services hired by the Company and made a positive evaluation of their quality, considering that they meet applicable standards and that it is advisable to maintain the same auditor. The work of the external auditor, including reports and audits of its accounts, was supervised and evaluated in accordance with applicable rules and standards, in particular international auditing standards. The external auditor in coordination with the Audit and Control Committee verifies the implementation of remuneration policies and the efficiency and functioning of internal control mechanisms. The external auditor reports to the Audit and Control Committee all the shortcomings. Information as provided for in Chapters II.25. to II.28. of CMVM Regulation no. 1/2010 does not apply to EDPR. The governance model adopted by EDPR, as it is compatible with its personal law, corresponds to the so-called Anglo-Saxon model set forth in the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, in which the management body is a Board of Directors, and the supervision and control duties are of the responsibility of an Audit and Control Committee.

The above mentioned article also establishes the possibility of the Directors being remunerated with Company shares, share options, or other securities granting the right to obtain shares or by means of share-indexed remuneration systems. In any case, the system chosen must be approved by the General Shareholders Meeting and comply with current legal provisions. The maximum remuneration approved by the General Shareholders Meeting in the previous fiscal year, for all the members of the Board of Directors was EUR 2,500,000. Pursuant to Article 26.4 of the Company s Articles of Association, the rights and duties of any kind derived from the condition of Board Member shall be compatible with any other rights and obligations either fixed or variable that could correspond to the Board Members as a consequence of other employment or professional engagements, if any, carried out in the Company. Variable remuneration resulting from said contracts or from any other relationship, including being a Board Member, will be limited to a maximum annual amount to be established by the General Shareholders Meeting. The maximum remuneration approved by the General Shareholders Meeting for the variable remuneration for all the members of the Board of Directors was EUR 600,000 per year. The Nominations and Remunerations Committee is responsible for proposing to the Board of Directors, although not bindingly, the system, distribution, and amount of remuneration of the Directors on the basis of the overall amount of remuneration authorized by the General Shareholders Meeting. The Committee can also propose to the Board of Directors the terms of the contracts with the Directors. The distribution and exact amount paid to each Director, the frequency and other details of the remuneration shall be determined by the Board of Directors based on the proposal presented by the Nominations and Remunerations Committee. Additionally, this Committee defines the variable remuneration to be attributed to the Directors, with the purpose that it reflects the performance of each of the members in each year of their term of office (variable annual remuneration), and also their performance during their term of office establishing a variable component which is consistent with the maximization of the Company's long term performance (variable multi-annual remuneration for a threeyear period), thereby guaranteeing the alignment of the performance of the governing bodies with the interests of the shareholders. The remuneration policy proposed by the Nominations and approved by the General Shareholders Meeting on April 11 th, 2011 (the Remuneration Policy), defines a structure with a fixed remuneration for all members of the Board of Directors and a variable remuneration, with an annual component and a multi-annual component for the members of the Executive Committee. For the period , it was decided to maintain the remuneration structure in terms of its components, as well as to keep the same nominal value of fixed annual component as the one in force during the period, revising the KPI s (Key Performance Indicators) for variable multi-annual and annual components.

G) Mr. José Araújo e Silva remuneration reflects only some months of the year, as he renounced to the remuneration during the time he served in a State-owned Company. According to the Executive Management Services Agreement signed with EDP as amended, EDPR is due to pay to EDP, for the services rendered by the Executive Managers and the Non-executive Managers; the amount due under said Agreement for the management services rendered by EDP in 2012 are: i) EUR 480,000, corresponding to the fixed remuneration of the Executive Managers,, plus the variable component according to the Remuneration Policy, plus the PPR percentage, and ii) EUR 90,000, corresponding to the fixed remuneration of the Non-Executive Managers.

II.32 REMUNERATION STRUCTURE The remuneration of the Executive Committee is built in three blocks: fixed remuneration (40% of the total remuneration), annual (27% of the total remuneration) and multi-annual bonus (33% of the total remuneration). The annual bonus is defined as a maximum of 68% of the annual salary, the multi-annual bonus is defined as a maximum of 102% of the annual salary and, both of them, are calculated based on the following indicators in each year of their term: The relative performance of the Total Shareholder Return of EDP Renováveis vs Benchmark, (TSR vs. Wind peers & Psi 20); EDP Renováveis growth (Incremental MW and profitable ready to build pipeline) The risk result of EDP Renováveis (ROIC Cash; EBITDA and net result) Efficiency (technical availability, OPEX/MW, CAPEX/MW). Environmental and social perspectives (i- the performance of the Sustainability Index applied to EDPR (DJSI method), ii- Employee satisfaction survey, iii- Appreciation of the Remuneration Committee).

180 ANNUAL REPORT 2012 corporate governance above mentioned KPI s were achieved and the performance evaluation is equal or above 110%. The remuneration of the Executive Committee Directors that are also Officers, with the exception of the CEO, was paid directly by EDPR while for the other members of the Executive Committee there hasn t been any direct payment to its members. This corporate governance practice of remuneration is in line with the model adopted by the EDP Group, in which the executive Directors of EDP do not receive any remuneration directly from the group companies on whose governing bodies they serve, but rather through EDP. Nonetheless, in line with the above corporate governance practice, EDPR has signed an Executive Management Services Agreement with EDP, under which the Company bears the cost for the render of those services corresponding to the remuneration defined for some of the members of the Board of Directors. The non-executive Directors only receive a fixed remuneration, which is calculated on the basis of their work exclusively as Directors or cumulatively with their membership on the Nominations and Remunerations Committee, Related Party Transactions Committee, and the Audit and Control Committee. EDPR has not incorporated any share remuneration or share purchase options plans as components of the remuneration of its Directors. No Director has entered into any contract with the company or third parties that have the effect of mitigating the risk inherent in the variability of the remuneration established by the company. In EDPR there aren't any payments for the dismissal or termination of Director's duties. II.33 REMUNERATION OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS A) This information is available on chapter II.32.

188 ANNUAL REPORT 2012 corporate governance III.16 INVESTOR RELATIONS DEPARTMENT EDPR seeks to provide to shareholders, investors, and stakeholders all the relevant information about the Company and its business environment. The promotion of transparent, consistent, rigorous, easily accessible, and high quality information is of fundamental importance to an accurate perception of the company s strategy, financial situation, accounts, assets, prospects, risks, and significant events. EDPR, therefore, looks to provide investors with information that can support them in making informed, clear, and concrete investment decisions. An Investor Relations Office was created to ensure a direct and permanent contact with all market related agents and stakeholders, to guarantee the equality between shareholders and to prevent imbalances in the information access. The EDPR Investor Relations Department is the intermediary between EDPR and its actual and potential shareholders, the financial analysts that follow the Company s activity, all investors, and the financial market agents in general. The main purpose of the department is to guarantee the principle of equality among shareholders, prevent asymmetries in access to information, and reduce the market perception gap of the company s strategy and intrinsic value. The department responsibility encompasses developing and implementing EDPR s communication strategy and preserving an appropriate institutional and informative relationship with the financial market, the stock exchange at which EDPR shares trade, and the regulatory and supervisory entities (CMVM Comissão de Mercado de Valores Mobiliários in Portugal and CMNV Comisíon Nacional del Mercado de Valores in Spain). The company representative for relations with the market is the Executive Board of Directors member, Mr. Rui Teixeira.

In EDPR there is a policy of pre-approval by the Audit and Control Committee for the selection of the External Auditor and any related entity for non-audit services, according to Recommendation III.1.5 of the Portuguese Corporate Governance Code. This policy was strictly followed during The services, other than auditing services, provided to the Company by the External Auditor and entities in a holding relationship with or incorporated in the same network as the External Auditor were previously approved by the Audit Committee, upon review of each specific service, which considered the following aspects: (i) such services having no effect on the independence of the External Auditor and any safeguards used; and (ii) the position of the External Auditor in the provision of such services, notably the External Auditor s experience and knowledge of the Company. Furthermore, although hiring services other than auditing services to the External Auditor is admissible, it is envisaged as an exception. In this way, as referred to above, in 2012 such services reached only around 5% of the total amount of services provided to the Company. In order to safeguard the independence of the External Auditors, the following powers of the Audit Committee were exercised during the 2012 financial year and should be highlighted: Nominate and hire the External Auditors and responsibility for establishing their remuneration as well as pre-approval of any services to be hired from the External Auditors; Direct and exclusive supervision by the Audit Committee; Assessment of the qualifications, independence, and performance of the External Auditors, and obtaining, yearly and directly from the External Auditors, written information on all relations existing between the Company and the Auditors or associated persons, including all services rendered and all services in progress; in fact, the Audit Committee, in order to evaluate independence, obtained from the External Auditors information on their independence in light of article 62B of Decree-Law no. 224/2008 of 20 November 2008, which amends the articles of association of the Chartered Accountant Professional Association; Review of the transparency report, signed by the Auditor and disclosed at its website. This report covers the matters provided for under article 62A of Decree-Law no. 224/2008, including those regarding the quality control internal system of the audit firm and the quality control procedures carried out by the competent authorities; Definition of the Company s hiring policy concerning persons who have worked or currently work with the External Auditors; Review, with the External Auditors, of the scope, planning, and resources to be used in their services; Responsibility for the settlement of any differences between the Executive Committee and the External Auditors concerning financial information. Within this context, it should be particularly stressed that External Auditor independence was safeguarded by the implementation of the Company s policy on pre-approval of the services to be hired to External Auditors (or any entity in a holding relationship with or incorporating the same network as the External Auditors), which results from the application of the rules issued by SEC on this matter. According to such policy, the Audit Committee makes an overall pre-approval of the services proposal made by the External Auditors and a specific pre-approval of other services that will eventually be provided by the External Auditors, particularly tax consultancy services and services other than audit and audit related services. III.18 REFERENCE TO THE ROTATION PERIOD OF THE EXTERNAL AUDITOR EDPR s External Auditor is, since the year 2007, KPMG Auditores S.L.. The external auditor is currently in its second mandate of three years, therefore there is still no need to rotate the auditor according to Recommendation III.1.3 of the Portuguese Corporate Governance Code. 43

214 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and THE BUSINESS OPERATIONS OF THE EDP RENOVÁVEIS GROUP EDP Renováveis, Sociedad Anónima (hereinafter referred to as EDP Renováveis ) was incorporated on 4 December Its main corporate objective is to engage in activities related to the electricity sector, namely the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of electricity generating power stations, using renewable energy sources, mainly wind. The registered offices of the company are located in Oviedo, Spain. On 18 March 2008 EDP Renováveis was converted into a company incorporated by shares (Sociedad Anónima). As at 31 December 2012 the share capital is held 62.02% by EDP S.A. - Sucursal en España ("EDP Branch"), 15.51% by Hidroeléctrica del Cantábrico, S.A. and 22.47% of the share capital is free-float in the NYSE Euronext Lisbon. As at 31 December 2012, EDP Renováveis holds a 100% stake in the share capital of EDP Renewables Europe, S.L. ( EDPR EU ), a 100% stake in the share capital of EDP Renewables North America, L.L.C. ( EDPR NA ), a 100% stake in the share capital of EDP Renewables Canada, Ltd. ( EDPR Canada ) and a 55% stake in the share capital of EDP Renováveis Brasil, S.A. ("EDPR BR"). The Company belongs to the EDP Group, of which the parent company is EDP Energias de Portugal, S.A., with registered offices at Praça Marquês de Pombal, 12-4, Lisbon. In December 2011, China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG) acquired 780,633,782 ordinary shares in EDP from Parpública Participaçoes Públicas SGPS, S.A., representing 21.35% of the share capital and voting rights of EDP Energías de Portugal S.A., a majority shareholder of the Company. The terms of the agreements through which CTG became a shareholder of the EDP Group stipulate that CTG would make minority investments totalling 2,000 million of Euros in the assets of the EDP Renováveis Group, representing 1.5 GW of installed capacity (900 MW in operation and 600 MW under construction). EDPR EU operates through its subsidiaries located in Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, Italy and United Kingdom. EDPR EU's main subsidiaries are: EDP Renováveis Portugal, S.A. (wind farms in Portugal), EDP Renovables España, S.L. (renewable resources electricity generation in Spain), EDP Renewables France (wind farms in France), EDP Renewables Belgium (wind farms in Belgium - partnership with local investors), EDP Renewables Polska, SP.ZO.O (wind farms in Poland), EDP Renewables Romania, S.R.L. (wind farms in Romania), EDP Renewables Italy, SRL (wind farms in Italy) and EDPR UK Limited (offshore development projects). EDPR NA's main activities consist in the development, management and operation of wind farms in the United States of America and providing management services for EDPR Canada. The purpose of EDP Renováveis Brasil is to aggregate all the investments in the renewable energy market of Brazil. As at 31 December 2012, EDP Renováveis and its subsidiaries ("the Group" or the "EDP Renováveis Group") had a fully consolidated installed capacity, as follows : Installed capacity MW 31 Dec Dec 2011 United States of America 3,637 3,422 Spain 2,310 2,201 Portugal Romania France Poland Brazil Belgium Italy 40-7,597 7,158 Additionally, through its interest in ENEOP- Eólicas de Portugal, S.A. is attributable to EDPR - equity consolidated MW (326 MW as at 31 December 2011). Regulatory framework for the activities in Spain The Electrical Sector in Spain is regulated by Law 54 of 27 November 1997 and subsequent amendments to legislation. On May 2007, the Spanish Government approved a Royal Decree (RD 661/2007) implementing the new regulatory framework for wind energy installations to be built from 2008 to 2012, and to which all operating assets would be exposed after 31 December

215 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 According to Royal Decree 661 of 25 May 2007, published on 26 May 2007, wind farms are entitled to choose between two remuneration schemes: (i) Fixed tariff and (ii) market plus premium: wind farms receive each hour the pool price plus a variable premium. Once the decision between the two schemes has been made for a specific wind farm, it is binding for, at least, one year. Wind farms installed before January 2008 are ruled by Royal Decree 661/2007 transitory regime, which in fact is similar to previous Royal Decree 436/2004. Under this transitory regime, that ends in December 2012, wind farms could choose between a fixed tariff and a market option receiving market price plus a fixed premium. On July 2010, the Industry Ministry established an agreement with two key renewable energy associations (the Spanish Wind Energy Association and Protermosolar) to amend the existing regulation. This agreement means the approval of the RD 1614/2010 of 7 December, that defines (i) a cut, for the years 2011 and 2012, of 35% of the renewable premium applicable to the wind capacity ruled by RD 661/2007, (II) an amendment to the article 44.3 of RD 661/2007 clarifying that future revisions to the premium value would only be applied to the capacity that comes on line after 2012 and (iii) the definition of a limit of 2,589 hours of installed capacity operation, from which the wind farm has no right to receive any premium if overall system equivalent hours is above 2,300 hours. The premium will be recovered from 2013 onwards. On 28 January 2012 the Spanish Government enacted Royal-Decree Law 1/2012 that approves a temporary suspension of the premium remuneration for renewable energy capacity not included in the pre-assignation registry. Although in practice, it does not affect the assets of EDP Renováveis. On December 2012, by means of Law15/2012 of 27 December, the Spanish Government approved 7% across-the-board tax on electricity generation, as well as new taxes on nuclear and large-scale hydropower, plus a new carbon levy. The tax will be applied from 2013 onwards. Regulatory framework for the activities in Portugal The Portuguese legal provisions applicable to the generation of electrical power based on renewable resources are currently established by Decree-Law No. 189/88 dated 27 May, as amended by Decree-Law No. 168/99 dated 18 May, Decree-Law No. 312/2001 dated 10 December, and Decree-Law No. 339-C/2001 dated 29 December. Also relevant is Decree-Law No. 33-A/2005, dated 16 February ( DL 33- A/2005 ), which establishes the current amounts used in the remuneration formula applicable to energy produced by means of renewable resources and the deadlines for the application of such remuneration formula. The Portuguese wind sector and the Portuguese Government reached an agreement in principles that maintains the legal stability of the current contracts (Decree-Law 33-A/2005) and protects the value of the investments made by the wind energy developers in the Portuguese economy. The wind farm operators can voluntarily invest to obtain further remuneration visibility, through the acquisition of a new tariff scheme to be applied upon the initial 15 years established by law. The proceeds will be used to reduce the overall costs of the Portuguese electricity system. In order to maximise the number of wind developers that voluntarily adheres to the extension of the remuneration framework the Government proposed four alternative tariff schemes to be elected by each of the wind developers, that include the following conditions: i) alternative cap and floor selling prices; ii) alternative durations to the new scheme beyond the initial 15 years of the current contracts; and consequently iii) alternative levels of investment (on a per MW basis) to acquire the new scheme. EDPR has chosen a 7-year extension of the tariff defined as the average market price of previous twelve months, with a floor of 74 /MWh and a cap of 98 /MWh values growing with inflation from 2021 onwards, in exchange of a payment of /MW from 2013 to Regulatory framework for the activities in France The electricity industry in France is governed primarily by Act (amended by Acts and ) ( Act 2000 ), passed on 10 February 2000, which governs the modernization and development of public energy services and is the general legislative framework for the operation of wind facilities in France. Act 2000 provides that, operator of wind facilities may enter into long-term agreements for the purchase and sale of energy with Electricité de France (EDF). The tariffs are set by Order of July 10, 2006 which was repealed in August 2008 due to formal defect in its approval, and then republished without any amendment in December The tariffs are the following: i) during the first ten years of the EDF Agreement, EDF pays a fixed annual tariff, which is 82 per MWh for applications made during 2006 (tariff is amended annually based, in part, on a inflation-related index) ii) During years 11 to 15 of the EDF Agreement, the tariff is based on the annual average percentage of energy produced during the wind facility' s first ten years. These tariffs are also amended annually, based, in part, on a inflation-related index. iii) Beginning in the year 16, there is no specific support structure and the wind energy generators will sell their electricity at market price. On March 2012, the legality of the 2008 feed-in tariff ministerial order for wind farm projects was questioned before the French Council of State (Conseil détat) on the basis that the required notification to the European Commission on State Aid was missed. On 15 May, the French Council of State decided to raise the issue for a preliminary ruling before the EU Court of Justice (is expected 12 to 18 months to solve). In the event that the tariff is finally cancelled, the French government has urged the Council of State the postponement of this eventual ruling until 2013 onwards, thus, no retroactive effects are expected. 9

216 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 Regulatory framework for the activities in the United States of America The United States federal government and various state governments have implemented policies designed to promote the growth of renewable energy, including wind power. The primary federal renewable energy incentive program is the Production Tax Credit (PTC), which was established by the U.S. Congress as part of 1992 EPACT. Additionally, many states have passed legislation, principally in the form of renewable portfolio standards ( RPS ), which require utilities to purchase a certain percentage of their energy supply from renewable sources, similar to the Renewable Energy Directive in the EU. On 1 January 2013, the US Congress approved "the American Taxpayer Relief Act" that included an extension of the PTC for wind, including the possibility of a 30% Investment Tax Credit instead of the PTC. Congress set a new expiration date of 31 December 2013 and changed the qualification criteria (projects can now qualify as long as they are under construction by year-end 2013). The legislation also includes a depreciation bonus on new equipment placed in service which allows depreciation of a higher percentage of the cost of the project (less 50% of the ITC) in the year that it is placed in service. This bonus depreciation was 100% in 2011 and 50% for Regulatory framework for the activities in Poland The legislation applicable to renewable energy in Poland is primarily contained in an Energy Act passed on 10 April 1997, which has been amended by the Act of 24 July 2002 and the Energy Act of 2 April 2004, which came into effect in January 2005 (together, the Energy Act ). Pursuant to the Energy Act, power generation from renewable sources is supported. The following are forms of such support introduced in Poland: (i) A system of obligatory purchase of certificates of origin by the generation companies and trading companies selling electricity to the end user interconnected to a grid in Poland. These power companies are obliged to: a) obtain a certificate or origin and submit it to the ERA President for cancellation, or b) pay a substitute fee calculated in accordance with the Energy Act. ii) If the power company does not purchase certificates or origin or does not pay a substitute fee, the ERA President will penalize such company by the financial penalty calculated in accordance with the Energy Act. Regulatory framework for the activities in Belgium The regulatory framework for electricity in Belgium is conditioned by the the division of powers between the federal and the three regional entities: Wallonia, Flanders and Brussels-Capital. The federal regulatory field of competence includes electricity transmission (of transmission levels above 70 kv), generation, tariffs, planning and nuclear energy. The relevant federal legislation is the Electricity Act of 29 April 1999 (as modified) (the Electricity Act ). The regional regulatory entities are responsible for distribution, renewable energy and cogeneration (with the exception of offshore power plants) and energy efficiency. The relevant regional legislation, respectively, is: (a) for Flanders, the Electricity Decree of 17 July 2000; (b) for Wallonia, the Regional Electricity Market Decree of 12 April 2001; and (c) for Brussels-Capital, the Order of 19 July 2001 on the Organization of the Electricity Market. The Belgian regulatory system promotes the generation of electricity from renewable sources (and cogeneration) by a system of green certificates (each a GC ), as described below. The Belgian federal government is responsible for offshore power plants and for imposing obligations on the transmission system operators. The various GC systems are very similar across the three regions and are similar to the GC system for federally-regulated offshore power plants. There are currently differences in terms of quotas, fines and thresholds for granting GCs. On 21 March 2012, Walloon government approved a decree which fixes the quotas of GC until The new quotas are: (i) 19.4% in 2013; (ii) 23.1% in 2014; (iii) 26.7% in 2015; (iv) 30.4% in For the period from 1 January 2017 until 31 December 2019, the yearly quotas will at the latest be fixed in 2014 on the basis of an evaluation carried out beforehand by the energy regulator of Wallonia (CWaPE). A new tax for wind generators has been approved in Wallonia last July. According to this regulation, all generators earning green certificates shall pay 0,54 /MWh. The energy regulator of Wallonia (CWaPE) will be the beneficiary of this tax, aimed at supporting the costs originated by green certificates management. Regulatory frameworks for the activities in Romania The promotion of electricity generated from renewable energy sources in Romania was set with the Electricity Law 318/2003. In 2005 a Green Certificate mechanism was introduced with mandatory quotas for suppliers, in order to comply with their EU renewable requirements.the regulatory authority establishes a fixed quota of electricity produced from RES which suppliers are obliges to buy, and, annually reviews applications form green generators in order to be awarded green certificates. Law 220/2008 of November, introduced some changes in the green certificates system. In particular, it allows wind generators to receive 2GC/MWh until From 2016 onwards generators receive 1 green certificate for each MWh. The price of electricity is determined in the electricity market and the price of green certificates is determined on a separate market. The trading value of green certificates has a floor of 27 and a cap of 55, both indexed to Romanian inflation. Law 220/2008 also guarantees the access to the National Grid for the electricity produced from renewable sources. 10

217 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 Law 220/2008 on renewable energy was amended by the Emergency Order 88/2011. A key aspect of this amendment was the overcompensation analysis which must be carried out on a yearly basis. ANRE shall monitor the producers benefiting from the support system and prepare annual reports on this regard. If overcompensation is found, ANRE will propose a reduction of the applicability period of the support scheme or the number of GCs initially granted to the technology. This reduction would be applied only to new plants. Law 123/2012 of 19 July 2012 on Electricity and Natural Gas eliminates the provision of bilateral contracts not publicly negotiated as a mean to sale electricity. Thus, trading of electricity must be carried out on a centralized market. On 4 September 2012, ANRE published the Order on Balancing Market. The new regulation has an impact for wind generation. On the one side, it states that for the energy reduced, the producer does not have the right to claim compensations for the loss of unproduced green certificates. This loss cannot be recovered. Also, new rules could result on larger balancing costs as the deficit price that wind generators have to face when the production is lower than the forecast may increase. Regulatory frameworks for the activities in Italy On 6 July 2012, the Government approved the new renewable regulation by means of the Decree on Renewables (DM FER) based on feedin-tariff support scheme. The key aspects of the new regulation provided by the DM FER are the following: (i) Wind farms over 5 MW will be remunerated under a feed-in tariff scheme defined by tenders; (ii) capacity to be tendered is set in different technologies capacity paths (only set until 2015); (iii) the reference tariff for 2013 is 127 /MWh for onshore wind. Tender participants will bid offering discounts on a reference tariff (in %);(iv) The reference tariff will decrease 2% per year and will be granted for the whole average useful life of the renewable plant -20 years for onshore wind. The new system substitutes the previous one based on GCs. Under the previous system producers obtain their revenues from the sale of the electricity in the electricity market and from the sale of GCs. Wind farms built until December 2012 (with some exceptions) will continue to operate under the previous system until 2015 when the GC system will be transformed into a feed-in-premium. Regulatory frameworks for the activities in Brazil The Electrical Sector in Brazil is regulated by Federal Law nº 8,987 of 13 February 1995, which generally rules the concession and permission regime of public services; Law nº 9,074 of 7 July 1995, which rules the grant and extension of public services concession or permission contracts; Federal Law nº 10,438 of 26 April 2002, which governs the increase in Emergency Electric Power Supply and creates the 3,300 MW Program of Incentives for Alternative Electricity Sources (PROINFA); Federal Law nº 10,762 of 11 November 2003 and Law nº 10,848 of 15 March 2004, concerning commercial rules for the trade of Electric Power and; Subsequent amendments to the legislation. The Decree nº 5,025 of 30 March 2004, regulates the Federal Law nº 10,438 and states the "Alternative Energy Sources" economical and legal framework. PROINFA participants have granted a PPA with ELETROBRÁS, and are subject to the regulator (ANEEL) authority. However, the first stage of PROINFA has ended and the second stage is highly uncertain. After PROINFA program, renewable producers obtain their remuneration by participating in auctions where price is the only criteria. Winners of the auctions obtain a PPA contract at the price bid. Public Electricity Auctions are technically lead by the state Energy Planning and Research Company (EPE), who registers, analyses and allows potential participants. 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES a) Basis of preparation The accompanying consolidated annual accounts have been prepared on the basis of the accounting records of EDP Renováveis, S.A. and consolidated entities. The consolidated financial statements for 2012 and 2011 have been prepared to present fairly the consolidated equity and consolidated financial position of EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the consolidated results of operations, consolidated cash flows and changes in consolidated equity for the years then ended. In accordance with Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 of 19 July 2002, from the European Council and Parliament, the Group's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as endorsed by the European Union (EU). IFRS comprise accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') and its predecessor body as well as interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and its predecessor bodies. The Board of Directors approved these consolidated annual accounts on 28 February The annual accounts are presented in thousands of Euros, rounded to the nearest thousand. The annual accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified by the application of fair value basis for derivative financial instruments, financial assets and liabilities held for trading and available-for-sale, except those for which a reliable measure of fair value is not available. 11

218 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the IFRS-EU requires the Board of Directors to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and of the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered reasonable in accordance with the circumstances. They form the basis for making judgments regarding the values of the assets and liabilities whose valuation is not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The areas involving the highest degree of judgment or complexity, or for which the assumptions and estimates are considered significant, are disclosed in Note 3 (Critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies). Prior to 2012, amounts included in transaction costs related to institutional partnerships were included as a component of non-current Other debtors and other assets. In 2012, EDP Group included these transaction costs as a reduction of Institutional partnerships in USA wind farms instead of an asset. For consistency purposes, this presentation has been applied to all statements of financial position presented (see note 32). b) Basis of consolidation Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial statments of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the noncontrolling interests to have a deficit balance. Associates Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognised initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The consolidated financial statements include the Group s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity-accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term investments, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee. Jointly controlled entities Jointly controlled entities, consolidated under the proportionate consolidation method, are entities over whose activities the Group has joint control along with another company, under a contractual agreement. The consolidated financial statements include the Group's proportionate share of the joint ventures' assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, from the date the joint control begins until it ceases. Business combination From 1 January 2010 the Group has applied IFRS 3 Business Combinations (2008) in accounting for business combinations. The change in accounting policy has been applied prospectively and has had no material impact on earnings per share. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable. Acquisitions on or after 1 January 2010 For acquisitions on or after 1 January 2010, the Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: The fair value of the consideration transferred; plus The recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus If the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less The net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. 12

219 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss. Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. Some business combinations in the period have been determined provisionally as the Group is currently in the process of measuring the fair value of the net assets acquired. The identifiable net assets have therefore initially been recognised at their provisional value. Adjustments during the measurement period have been recorded as if they had been known at the date of the combination and comparative information for the prior year has been restated where applicable. Adjustments to provisional values only include information relating to events and circumstances existing at the acquisition date and which, had they been known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date. After that period, adjustments to initial measurement are only made to correct an error. In business combinations achieved in stages, any excess of the consideration given, plus the fair value of the interest previously held in the acquiree, and the net assets acquired and net liabilities assumed is recognised as goodwill. Any shortfall, after measuring the consideration given to the previously held interest and identifying and measuring the net assets acquired, is recognised in profit and loss. The Group recognises the difference between the fair value of the interest previously held in the acquiree and its carrying amount in consolidated profit and loss, based on the classification of the interest. The Group also reclassifies amounts deferred in other comprehensive income in relation to the previously held interest to profit and loss or consolidated reserves, based on their nature. Acquisitions between 1 January 2004 and 1 January 2010 For acquisitions between 1 January 2004 and 1 January 2010, goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group s interest in the recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the excess was negative, a bargain purchase gain was recognised immediately in profit or loss. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurred in connection with business combinations were capitalised as part of the cost of the acquisition. Accounting for acquisitions of non-controlling interests From 1 January 2010 the Group has applied IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (2008) in accounting for acquisitions of non-controlling interests. The change in accounting policy has been applied prospectively and has had no impact on earnings per share. Under the new accounting policy, acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognised as a result of such transactions. The adjustments to non-controlling interests are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary. Previously, goodwill was recognised on the acquisition of non-controlling interests in a subsidiary, which represented the excess of the cost of the additional investment over the carrying amount of the interest in the net assets acquired at the date of the transaction. Investments in foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Euro at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, are translated to euro at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income in the translation reserve. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the translation reserve is transferred to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal. When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity. 13

220 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 Balances and transactions eliminated on consolidation Inter-company balances and transactions, including any unrealised gains and losses on transactions between group companies, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains and losses arising from transactions with associates and jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in those entities. Common control transactions The accounting for transactions among entities under common control is excluded from IFRS 3. Consequently, in the absence of specific guidance, within IFRSs, the EDP Renováveis Group has developed an accounting policy for such transactions, as considered appropriate. According to the Group's policy, business combinations among entities under common control are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the EDP consolidated book values of the acquired company (subgroup). The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets received and the consideration paid, is recognised in equity. Put options related to non-controlling interests IFRS-EU did not establish specific accounting treatment for commitments related to written put options related with investments in subsidiaries held by non-controlling interests at the date of acquisition of a business combination. Nevertheless, the EDP Renováveis Group records these written put options at the date of acquisition of a business combination or at a subsequent date as an advance acquisition of these interests, recording a financial liability for the present value of the best estimate of the amount payable, irrespective of the estimated probability that the options will be exercised. The difference between this amount and the amount corresponding to the percentage of the interests held in the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Until 31 December 2009, in years subsequent to initial recognition, the changes in the liability due to the effect of the financial discount are recognised as a financial expense in the consolidated income statement, and the remaining changes are recognised as an adjustment to the cost of the business combination. Where applicable, dividends paid to minority shareholders up to the date the options are exercised are also recorded as adjustments to the cost of the business combination. In the event that the options are not exercised, the transaction would be recorded as a sale of interests to minority shareholders. As from January 2010, the Group applies IAS 27 (2008) to new put options related to non-controlling interests and there subsequent changes in the carrying amount of the put liability are recognised in profit or loss. c) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of fgroup entities ii at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity instruments, a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation, or qualifying cash flow hedges, which are recognised in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. d) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting Derivative financial instruments are recognised on the trade date at fair value. Subsequently, the fair value of derivative financial instruments is re-measured on a regular basis, being the gains or losses on re-measurement recognised directly in the income statement, except for derivatives designated as hedging instruments. The recognition of the resulting gains or losses on re-measurement of the derivatives designated as hedging instruments depends on the nature of the risk being hedged and of the hedge model used. The fair value of derivatives correspond to their quoted market prices as provided by an exchange, or is determined by using net present value techniques, including discounted cash flows models and option pricing models, as appropriate. Hedge accounting The Group uses financial instruments to hedge interest and foreign exchange risks resulting from its operational and financing activities. The derivate financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded as for trading. 14

221 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 The derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments are recorded at fair value, being the gains and losses recognised in accordance with the hedge accounting model adopted by the Group. Hedge accounting is used when: (i) At the inception of the hedge, the hedge relationship is identified and documented; (ii) The hedge is expected to be highly effective; (iii) The effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured; (iv) The hedge is revalued on a on-going basis and is considered to be highly effective over the reporting period; and (v) The forecast transactions hedged are highly probable and represent a risk to changes in cash flows that could affect the income statement. Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below. Fair value hedge Changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments that are designated as hedging instruments are recorded in the income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the risk being hedged. If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the accumulated gains or losses concerning the fair value of the risk being hedged are amortised over the period to maturity. Cash flow hedge The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments that are designated as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge model is recognised in equity. The gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion of the hedging relationship are recognised in the income statement in the moment they occur. The cumulative gains or losses recognised in equity are also reclassified to the income statement over the periods in which the hedged item will affect the income statement. When the forecast transaction hedge results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the gains or losses recorded in equity are included in the acquisition cost of the asset. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity at that time stays recognised in equity until the hedged transaction also affects the income statement. When the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gains or losses recognized in equity are recorded in the income statement. Net investment hedge The net investment hedge is applied on a consolidated basis to investments in subsidiaries in foreign currencies. The exchange differences recorded against exchange differences arising on consolidation are offset by the exchange differences arising from the foreign currency borrowings used for the acquisition of those subsidiaries. If the hedging instrument is a derivative, the gains or losses arising from fair value changes are also recorded against exchange differences arising on consolidation. The ineffective portion of the hedging relation is recognised in the income statement. e) Other financial assets The Group classifies its other financial assets at acquisition date in the following categories: Loans and receivable Loans and receivable are initially recognised at their fair value and subsequently are measured at amortised cost less impairment losses. Impairment losses are recorded based on the valuation of estimated losses from non-collection of loans and receivable at the balance sheet date. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement, and can be reversed if the estimated losses decrease in a later period. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss This category includes: (i) financial assets held for trading, which are those acquired principally for the purpose of being sold in the short term and (ii) financial assets that are designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. 15

222 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 Available-for-sale-investments Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale and that are not classified in any of the other categories. The Group s investments in equity securities are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. Initial recognition, measurement and derecognition Purchases and sales of: (i) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and (ii) available for sale investments, are recognised on trade date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the assets. Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, in which case these transaction costs are directly recognised in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognised when (i) the contractual rights to receive their cash flows have expired, (ii) the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership or (iii) although retaining some, but not substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership, the Group has transferred the control over the assets. Subsequent measurement After initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value and gains and losses arising from changes in their fair value are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise. Available for sale financial assets are also subsequently carried at fair value, however, gains and losses arising from changes in their fair value are recognised directly in equity, until the financial assets are derecognised or impaired, being the cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in equity recognised in the income statement. Foreign exchange differences arising from equity investments classified as available for sale are also recognised in equity. Interest calculated using the effective interest rate method and dividends, are recognised in the income statement. The fair values on quoted investments in active markets are based on current bid prices. For unlisted securities the Group determines the fair value through (i) valuation techniques, including the use of recent arm s length transactions or discounted cash flow analysis and (ii) valuation assumptions based on market information. Financial instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are carried at cost. Reclassifications between categories The Group does not reclassify, after initial recognition, a financial instrument into or out of the fair value through profit or loss category. Impairment At each balance sheet date an assessment is performed as to whether there is objective evidence of impairment, namely those resulting in an adverse effect on estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets, and every time it can be reliably measured. If there is objective evidence of impairment, the recoverable amount of the financial asset is determined, and the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after their initial recognition, such as: (i) in the case of listed securities, a significant or prolonged decline in the listed price of the security, and (ii) in the case of unlisted securities, when that event (or events) has an impact on the estimated amount of the future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets, that can be reliably estimated. Evaluating the existence of objective evidence of impairment involves judgement, in which case the Group considers, among other factors, price volatility and current economic situation. Thus, when listed securities are concerned, it is considered as continuous a devaluation in the listed price of the security for a period over 24 months and as significant a devaluation of the security's value above 40%. If there is objective evidence of impairment on available-for-sale investments, the cumulative potential loss recognised in fair values reserves, corresponding to the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value at the balance sheet date, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the income statement, is transferred to the income statement. 16

223 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 For debt instruments, if in a subsequent period the amount of the impairment loss decreases, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the income statement up to the amount of the acquisition cost, if the increase is objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. In the case of equity instruments, impairment losses can not be reversed and any subsequent gain in fair value is recognised in equity under fair value reserves. f) Financial liabilities An instrument is classified as a financial liability when it contains a contractual obligation to transfer cash or another financial asset, independently from its legal form. These financial liabilities are recognised (i) initially at fair value less transaction costs and (ii) subsequently at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. The Group derecognises the whole or part of a financial liability when the obligations included in the contract have been satisfied or the Group is legally released of the fundamental obligation related to this liability either through a legal process or by the creditor. The Group considers that the terms are substantially different if the current value of cash flows discounted under the new terms, including any commission paid net of any commission received, and using the original effective interest rate to make the discount, differs by at least 10% of the current discounted value of cash flows remaining from the original financial liability. If the exchange is recognised as a cancellation of the original financial liability, costs or commissions are taken to the consolidated income statement. Otherwise, costs or commissions adjust the book value of the liability and are amortised following the amortised cost method over the remaining term of the modified liability. The Group recognises the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability (or part of a financial liability which has been cancelled or transferred to a third party) and the consideration paid, which includes any asset transferred other than cash or the liability assumed, with a debit or credit to the consolidated income statement. g) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of assets are capitalised as part of the cost of the assets. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. To the extent that funds are borrowed generally, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation are determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on these assets. The capitalisation rate corresponds to the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the enterprise that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. The amount of borrowing costs capitalised during a period does not exceed the amount of borrowing costs incurred during the period. The capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when expenditures for the asset are being incurred, borrowing costs have been incurred and activities necessary to prepare all or part of the assets for their intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying assets for their intended use or sale are completed. Capitalisation of borrowing costs shall be suspended during extended periods in which active development is interrupted. h) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Cost also may include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. The cost of acquisition includes interest on external financing and personnel costs and other internal expenses directly or indirectly related to work in progress accrued solely during the period of construction. The cost of production is capitalised by charging costs attributable to the asset as own work capitalised under financial expenses and personnel costs and employee benefit expense in the consolidated income statement. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Subsequent costs are recognised as separate assets only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group. All repair and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. The Group assesses assets impairment, whenever events or circumstances may indicate that the book value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the impairment being recognised in the income statement. 17

224 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 The recoverable amount is determined by the highest value between the net selling price and its fair value in use, this being calculated by the present value of estimated future cash-flows obtained from the asset and after its disposal at the end of its economic useful life. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on the other assets is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, as follows: Number of years Buildings and other constructions 20 to 33 Plant and machinery Wind farm generation 25 Hydroelectric generation 20 to 30 Other plant and machinery 15 to 40 Transport equipment 3 to 10 Office equipment and tools 3 to 10 Other tangible fixed assets 4 to 10 In the second quarter of 2011 EDPR Group, based on a study performed by an independent entity, has changed the useful life of the wind farms from 20 to 25 years, with effect from 1 April 2011 (see note 3). i) Intangible assets The other intangible assets of the Group are booked at acquisition cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The Group does not own intangible assets with indefinite lives. The Group assesses for impairment, whenever events or circumstances may indicate that the book value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the impairment being recognised in the income statement. The recoverable value is determined by the highest amount between its net selling price and its value in use, this being calculated by the present value of the estimated future cash-flows obtained from the asset and sale price at the end of its economic useful life. Acquisition and development of software Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortised on the basis of their expected useful lives. Costs that t are directly associated with the development of identifiable specific software applications by the Group, and that t will probably bl generate economic benefits beyond one year, are recognised as intangible assets. These costs include employee costs directly associated with the development of the referred software and are amortised using the straight-line method during their expected useful lives. Maintenance costs of software are charged to the income statement when incurred. Industrial property and other rights The amortisation of industrial property and other rights is calculated using the straight-line method for an expected useful live expected of less than 6 years. j) Impairment of non financial assets The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is then estimated. For goodwill the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the "cash-generating unit"). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro-rata basis. 18

225 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in circumstances that caused the impairment. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. k) Leases The Group classifies its lease agreements as finance leases or operating leases taking into consideration the substance of the transaction rather than its legal form. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers to the lessee substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Operating leases Lease payments are recognised as an expense and charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate. l) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of the acquisition cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories includes purchases, conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated selling costs. The cost of inventories is assigned by using the weighted average method. m) Classification of assets and liabilities as current and non-current The Group classifies assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position as current and non-current. Current assets and liabilities are determined as follows: Assets are classified as current when they are expected to be realised or are intended for sale or consumption in the Group s normal operating cycle, they are held primarily for the purpose of trading, they are expected to be realised within twelve months of the balance sheet date or are cash or a cash equivalent, unless the assets may not be exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months from the balance sheet date. Liabilities are classified as current when they are expected to be settled in the Group s normal operating cycle, they are held primarily for the purpose of trading, they are due to be settled within twelve months of the balance sheet date or the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Financial liabilities are classified as current when they are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, even if the original term was for a period longer than twelve months, and an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorised for issue. n) Employee benefits Pensions EDP Renováveis Portugal, one of the portuguese companies of EDP Renováveis Group attribute post-retirement plans to their employees under defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans, namely, pension plans that pay complementary old-age, disability and surviving-relative pension complements, as well as early retirement pensions. Defined benefit plans In Portugal, the defined benefits plan is financed through a restricted Pension Fund complemented by a specific provision. This Pension Fund covers liabilities for retirement pension complements as well as liabilities for early retirement. The pension plans of the Group companies in Portugal are classified as defined benefit plans, since the criteria to determine the pension benefit to be received by employees on retirement is predefined and usually depend on factors such as age, years of service and level of salary at the age of retirement. The liability of the Group with pensions is calculated annually, at the balance sheet date for each plan individually, by qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The discount rate used in this calculation is determined by reference to interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liabilities. 19

226 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 Actuarial gains and losses determined annually and resulting from (i) the differences between financial and actuarial assumptions used and real values obtained and (ii) changes in the actuarial assumptions are recognised against equity, in accordance with the alternative method defined by IAS 19. The increase in past service costs arising from early retirements (retirements before the normal age of retirement) is recognised in the income statement when incurred. Annually the Group recognises as cost in the income statement the net amount of, (i) the current service cost, (ii) the interest cost, (iii) the estimated return of the fund assets and (iv) the cost arising from early retirements. Defined contribution plans In Spain, Portugal and United States of America, some Group Companies have social benefit plans of defined contribution that complement those granted by the social welfare system to the companies employees, under which they pay a contribution to these plans each year, calculated in accordance with the rules established in each plan. The cost related to defined contribution plans is recognised in the results in the period in which the contribution is made. Other benefits Medical care and other plans In Portugal some Group companies provide medical care during the period of retirement and early retirement, through complementary benefits to those provided by the Social Welfare System. These medical care plans are classified as defined benefit plans. The present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date is recognised as a defined benefit liability. Measurement and recognition of the liability with healthcare benefits is similar to the measurement and recognition of the pension liability for the defined benefit plans, described above. Variable remuneration to employees In accordance with the by-laws of certain Group entities, annually the shareholders approve in the annual general meeting a percentage of profits to be paid to the employees (variable remuneration), following a proposal made by the Board of Directors. Payments to employees are recognised in the income statement in the period to which they relate. o) Provisions Provisions are recognised when: (i) the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation, (ii) it is probable that settlement will be required in the future and (iii) a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Dismantling and decommissioning provisions The Group recognises dismantling and decommissioning provisions for property, plant and equipment when a legal or contractual obligation is settled to dismantling and decommissioning those assets at the end of their useful life. Consequently, the Group has booked provisions for property, plant and equipment related with wind turbines, for the expected cost of restoring sites and land to its original condition. The provisions correspond to the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation and are recognised as part of the initial cost or an adjustment to the cost of the respective asset, being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset useful life. The assumptions used are: EDPR EU EDPR NA Average cost per MW (Euros) 14,000 18,549 Salvage value per MW (Euros) 25,000 17,776 Discount rate 6.33% 5.38% Inflation rate 2.00% 2.50% Capitalisation (number of years) With the change of the useful life of the wind farms from 20 to 25 years (see note 2 h) the capitalisation rate (number of years) of the dismantling and decommissioning provisions has changed to 25 years, with a prospective application from 1 April Decommissioning and dismantling provisions are remeasured on an annual basis based on the best estimate of the settlement amount. The unwinding of the discount at each balance sheet date is charged to the income statement. 20

227 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 p) Recognition of costs and revenue Costs and revenues are recorded in the year to which they refer regardless of when paid or received, in accordance with the accrual concept. Differences between amounts received and paid and the corresponding revenue and expenditure are recorded under other assets and other liabilities. Revenue comprises the amounts invoiced on the sale of products or of services rendered, net of value added tax, rebates and discounts, after elimination of intra-group sales. Revenue from electricity sales is recognised in the period that electricity is generated and transferred to customers. Engineering revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. As soon as the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and expenses are recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Differences between estimated and actual amounts, which are normally not significant, are recorded during the subsequent periods. q) Financial results Financial results include interest payable on borrowings, interest receivable on funds invested, dividend income, unwinding of the discount of provisions and written put options to non-controlling interests, foreign exchange gains and losses and gains and losses on financial instruments and the accrual of tax equity estimated interest over outstanding liability. Interest income is recognised in the income statement based on the effective interest rate method. Dividend income is recognised in the income statement on the date the entity's right to receive payments is established. r) Income tax Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. s) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased by the Group and held as treasury stock. t) Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations Non-current assets or disposal groups (groups of assets and related liabilities that include at least a non-current asset) are classified as held for sale when their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through sale and the assets or disposal groups are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable. The Group also classifies as non-current assets held for sale those non-current assets or disposal groups acquired exclusively with a view to its subsequent disposal, that are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable. 21

228 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the non-current assets or all assets and liabilities in a disposal group, is adjusted in accordance with the applicable IFRS. Subsequently, these assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount at fair value less costs to sell. u) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include balances with maturity of less than three months from the balance sheet date, including cash and deposits in banks. This caption also includes other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and specific demand deposits in relation to institutional partnerships that are funds required to be held in escrow sufficient to pay the remaining construction related costs of projects in institutional equity partnerships in U.S.A., in the next twelve months. v) Government grants Government grants are recognised initially as deferred income under non-current liabilities when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are recognised. w) Environmental issues The Group takes measures to prevent, reduce or repair the damage caused to the environment by its activities. Expenses derived from environmental activities are recognised as other operating expenses in the period in which they are incurred. x) Institutional partnerships in US wind farms The Group has entered in several partnerships with institutional investors in the United States, through limited liability company operating agreements that apportion the cash flows generated by the wind farms between the investors and the Company and allocates the tax benefits, which include Production Tax Credits (PTCs), Investment Tax Credits (ITC) and accelerated depreciation, largely to the investor. The institutional investors purchase their minority partnership interests for an upfront cash payment with an agreed targeted internal rate of return over the period that the tax credits are generated. This anticipated return is computed based on the total anticipated benefit that the institutional investors will receive and includes the value of PTC s / ITC's, allocated taxable income or loss and cash distributions received. The control and management of these wind farms are a responsibility of EDPR Group and they are fully consolidated in these Financial Statements. t t The upfront cash payment received is recognised under "Liabilities arising from institutional partnerships" and subsequently measured at amortised cost. This liability is reduced by the value of tax benefits provided and cash distributions made to the institutional investors during the contracted period. The value of the tax benefits delivered, primarily accelerated depreciation and ITC are recognized as Income from institutional partnerships on a pro-rata basis over the 25 year useful life of the underlying projects (see note 7). The value of the PTC's delivered are recorded as generated. After the Flip Date, the institutional investor retains a small non-controlling interest for the duration of its membership in the structure. The noncontrolling interest is entitled to cash distribution and income allocation percentages varying from 2.5% to 6.0%, with the exception of Vento VI in which the institutional investor is allocated 17.0% of income. EDPR NA also has an option to purchase the institutional investor s residual interest at fair market value on the Flip Date for PTC flip structures and generally, six months after the later of the 5-year anniversary of final turbine commissioning date or the Flip Date, or ten years after the final funding date if the Flip Date has not yet occured. The liability for residual interest is accreted on a straight line basis from the funding date through the Flip Date to reflect the institutional investors minority interest position in the EDPR Group at the Flip Date. The liability with institutional investors is increased by an interest accrual that is based on the outstanding liability balance and the targeted internal rate of return agreed. z) EDPR Group concession activities (IFRIC 12) The International Financial Reporting Commitee (IFRIC) issued in July 2007, IFRIC 12 - Service Concession Arrangements. This interpretation was approved by the European Commission on 25 March 2009 and is applicable for the annual periods beginning after that date. IFRIC 12 is applicable to the public-private concession contracts in which the public entity controls or regulates the services rendered through the utilisation of determined infrastructures as well as the price of these services and equally controls any significant residual interest in those infrastructures. 22

229 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 According to IFRIC 12, the infrastructures allocated to concessions are not recognised by the operator as tangible fixed assets or as financial leases, as the operator does not control the assets. These infrastructures are recognised according to one of the following accounting models, depending on the type of remuneration commitment of the operator assumed by the grantor within the terms of the contract: Financial Asset Model This model is applicable when the operator has an unconditional right to receive certain monetary amounts regardless of the level of use of the infrastructures within the concession and results in the recognition of a financial asset, booked at amortised cost. Intangible Asset Model This model is applicable when the operator, within the concession, is remunerated on the basis of the level of use of the infrastructures (demand risk) and results in the recognition of an intangible asset. Mixed Model This model is applicable when the concession includes simultaneously guaranteed remuneration and remuneration based on the level of use of the infrastructure within the concession. Under the terms of the contracts in place throughout the Group business, the Management of EDPR concluded that IFRIC 12 is not applicable. 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES The IFRS set forth a range of accounting treatments and require the Board of Directors to apply judgment and make estimates in deciding which treatment is most appropriate. The main accounting estimates and judgements used in applying the accounting policies are discussed in this note in order to improve the understanding of how their application affects the Group s reported results and disclosures. A broader description of the accounting policies employed by the Group is disclosed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Although estimates are calculated by the Company s directors based on the best information available at 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011, future events may require changes to these estimates in subsequent years. Any effect on the financial statements of adjustments to be made in subsequent years would be recognised prospectively. Considering that in many cases there are alternatives to the accounting treatment adopted by EDP Renováveis, the Group s reported results could differ if a different treatment was chosen. EDP Renováveis believes that the choices made are appropriate and that the financial statments are presented fairly, in all material respects, the Group s financial position and results. The alternative outcomes discussed below are presented solely to assist the reader in understanding the financial statments and are not intended to suggest that other alternatives or estimates would be more appropriate. Impairment of available for sale investments The Group determines that available for sale investments are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost. This determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. In making this judgment, the Group evaluates among other factors, the normal volatility in share price. In addition, valuations are generally obtained through listed market prices or valuation models that may require assumptions or judgment in making estimates of fair value. Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumptions and estimates could result in a higher level of impairment losses recognised with a consequent impact in the income statement of the Group. Fair value of derivatives Fair values are based on listed market prices, if available, otherwise fair value is determined either by dealer prices (both for that transaction or for similar instruments traded) or by pricing models, based on net present value of estimated future cash flows which take into account market conditions for the underlying instruments, time value, yield curves and volatility factors. These pricing models may require assumptions or judgments in estimating fair values. Consequently, the use of a different model or of different assumptions or judgments in applying a particular model may have produced different financial results for a particular period. 23

230 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 Review of the useful life of assets related to production The Group regularly reviews the useful life of its electrical generation installations in order to bring it into line with the technical and economic measurements of the installations, taking into consideration their technological capacity and prevailing regulatory restrictions. In the second quarter of 2011 EDPR Group has changed the useful life of the wind farms from 20 to 25 years (see note 2 h). The redefinition of the useful life of the wind generation assets was made based on a technical study performed by an independent entity which has considered the technical availability for an additional period of 5 years of useful life of these assets. The referred study has covered 95% of wind installed capacity of EDPR Group, in the different geographies (Europe and North America), considering assumptions and estimates that requires judgements. Impairment of non financial assets Impairment test are performed whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of property, plant, equipment and intangible assets is less than the corresponding net book value of assets. Considering that estimated recoverable amounts related to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill are based on the best information available, changes in the estimates and judgments could change the impairment test results which could affects the Group s reported results. Income taxes The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant interpretations and estimates are required in determining the global amount for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Different interpretations and estimates would result in a different level of income taxes, current and deferred, recognised in the period. Tax Authorities are entitled to review the EDP Renováveis, and its subsidiaries determination of its annual taxable earnings, for a determined period that may be extended in case there are tax losses carried forward. Therefore, it is possible that some additional taxes may be assessed, mainly as a result of differences in interpretation of the tax law. However, EDP Renováveis and those of its subsidiaries, are confident that there will be no material tax assessments within the context of the financial statements. Dismantling and decommissioning provisions The Board of Directors considers that Group has contractual obligations with the dismantling and decommissioning of property, plant and equipment related to wind electricity generation. For these responsibilities the Group has recorded provisions for the expected cost of restoring sites and land to its original condition. The provisions correspond to the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation. The use of different assumptions in estimates and judgments referred may have produced different results from those that have been considered. 4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES The businesses of EDP Renováveis Group are exposed to a variety of financial risks, including the effects of changes in market prices, foreign exchange and interest rates. The main financial risks lie essentially in its debt portfolio, arising from interest-rate and the exchange-rate exposures. The unpredictability of the financial markets is analysed on an on-going basis in accordance with the EDPR s risk management policy. Financial instruments are used to minimize potential adverse effects resulting from the interest rates and foreign exchange rates risks on EDP Renováveis financial performance. The Board of Directors of EDP Renováveis is responsible for the definition of general risk-management principles and the establishment of exposure limits. The management of financial risks of EDP Renováveis Group is outsourced to the Finance Department of EDP - Energias de Portugal, S.A., in accordance with the policies approved by the Board of Directors. The outsourcing service includes identification and evaluation of hedging mechanisms appropriate to each exposure. All transactions undertaken using derivative financial instruments require the prior approval of the Board of Directors, which defines the parameters of each transaction and approves the formal documents describing their objectives. 24

231 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 Exchange-rate risk management EDP Group s Financial Department is responsible for managing the foreign exchange exposure of the Group, seeking to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the net assets and net profits of the Group, using foreign exchange derivatives, foreign exchange debt and/or other hedging structures with symmetrical exposure characteristics to those of the hedged item. The effectiveness of these hedges is reassessed and monitored throughout their lives. EDPR operates internationally and is exposed to the exchange-rate risk resulting from investments in foreign subsidiaries. With the objective of minimizing the impact of exchange rates fluctuations, EDP Renováveis general policy is to fund each project in the currency of the operating cash flows generated by the project. Currently, the main currency exposure is the U.S. dollar, resulting from the shareholding in EDPR NA. With the increasing capacity in other geographies, EDPR is also becoming exposed to other currencies (Brazilian Real, Polish Zloty and Romanian Leu). To hedge the risk originated with net investment in EDPR NA, EDP Renováveis entered into a CIRS in USD/EUR with EDP Branch and also uses financial debt expressed in USD. Following the same strategy adopted to hedge these investments in USA, EDP Renováveis has also entered into two CIRS in BRL/EUR and two in PLN/EUR to hedge the investments in Brazil and Poland (see note 36). Sensitivity analysis - Foreign exchange rate As a consequence a depreciation/appreciation of 10% in the foreign currency exchange rate, with reference to 31 December 2012 and 2011, would originate an increase/(decrease) in EDP Renováveis Group income statement and equity before taxes, as follows: 31 Dec 2012 Profit or loss Equity Thousands of Euros +10% -10% +10% -10% USD / EUR 6,202-7, PLN / EUR 11,628-14, RON / EUR 5,957-7, ,787-29, Dec 2011 Profit or loss Equity Thousands of Euros +10% -10% +10% -10% USD / EUR 10,516-12, PLN / EUR - - 3,309-4,044 RON / EUR ,516-12,853 3,309-4,044 This analysis assumes that all other variables, namely interest rates, remain unchanged. Interest rate risk management The Group s operating cash flows are substantially independent from the fluctuation in interest-rate markets. The purpose of the interest-rate risk management policies is to reduce the exposure of debt cash flows to market fluctuations. As such, whenever considered necessary and in accordance to the Group's policy, the Group contracts derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risks. In the floating-rate financing context, the Group contracts interest-rate derivative financial instruments to hedge cash flows associated with future interest payments, which have the effect of converting floating rate loans into fixed rate loans. All these hedges are undertaken on liabilities in the Group s debt portfolio and are mainly perfect hedges with a high correlation between changes in fair value of the hedging instrument and changes in fair value of the interest-rate risk or upcoming cash flows. The EDP Renováveis Group has a portfolio of interest-rate derivatives with maturities between 1 and 14 years. The Financial Department of EDP Group undertakes sensitivity analyses of the fair value of financial instruments to interest-rate fluctuations or upcoming cash flows. About 92% of EDP Renováveis Group financial debt bear interest at fixed rates, including operations with financial instruments. Sensitivity analysis - Interest rates The management of interest rate risk associated to activities developed by the Group is outsourced to the Financial Department of EDP Group, contracting derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk. 25

232 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 Based on the debt portfolio of the EDPR EU Group and the related derivative financial instruments used to hedge associated interest rate risk, as well as on the shareholder loans received by EDP Renováveis, a change of 100 basis points in the interest rates with reference to 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011 would increase/(decrease) in EDP Renováveis Group income statement and equity before taxes, as follows: Thousands of Euros bp bp bp bp Cash flow hedge derivatives ,406-48,749 Unhedged debt (variable interest rates) -1,333 1, ,333 1,333 44,406-48, Dec 2011 Profit or loss Equity Thousands of Euros bp bp bp bp Cash flow hedge derivatives ,929-40,540 Unhedged debt (variable interest rates) -1,839 1, ,839 1,839 37,929-40,540 This analysis assumes that all other variables, namely foreign exchange rates, remain unchanged. Counter-party credit-rate risk management in financial transactions Profit or loss 31 Dec 2012 The EDP Renováveis Group policy in terms of the counterparty risk on financial transactions with companies outside EDP Group is managed by an analysis of the technical capacity, competitiveness, credit rating and exposure to each counter-party. Counterparties in derivatives and financial transactions are restricted to high-quality credit institutions or to the EDP Group. Equity The EDP Renováveis Group documents financial operations according to international standards. Most derivative financial instruments contracted with credit institutions are engaged under ISDA Master Agreements. In the specific case of the EDPR EU Group, credit risk is not significant due to the limited average collection period for customer balances and the quality of its debtors. The Group s main customers are operators and distributors in the energy market of their respective countries (OMEL and MEFF in the case of the Spanish market). In the specific case of EDPR NA Group, credit risk is not significant due to the limited average collection period for customer balances and the quality of its debtors. The Group s main customers are regulated utility companies and regional market agents in the U.S. EDP Renováveis believes that the amount that best represents the Group's exposure to credit risk corresponds to the carrying amount of Trade receivables and Other debtors, net of the impairment losses recognised. The Group believes that the credit quality of these receivables is adequate and that no significant impaired credits exist that have not been recognised as such and provided for. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the possibility that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group strategy to manage liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have significant liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation. The liquidity policy followed ensures compliance with payment obligations acquired, through maintaining sufficient credit facilities and having access to the EDP Group facilities. The EDP Renováveis Group undertakes management of liquidity risk through the engagement and maintenance of credit lines and financing facilities with its main shareholder, as well as directly in the market with national and international financial institutions, assuring the necessary funds to perform its activities. Market price risk As at 31 December 2012, market price risk affecting the EDP Renovavéis Group is not significant. In the case of EDPR NA, the great majority of the plants are under power purchase agreements, with fixed or escalating prices. In the case of EDPR EU the electricity is sold in Spain directly on the daily market at spot prices plus a pre-defined premium (regulated). Nevertheless, EDPR EU has an option of selling the power through regulated tariffs, granting minimum prices. In the remaining countries, prices are mainly determined through regulated tariffs. 26

233 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 EDPR EU and EDPR NA have electricity sales swaps that qualify for hedge accounting (cash flow hedge) that are related to electricity sales for the year 2012 and 2013 (see note 36). The purpose of EDP Renováveis Group is to hedge a volume of energy generated to reduce its exposure to the energy price volatility. Capital management The Group s goal in managing equity, in accordance with the policies established by its main shareholder, is to safeguard the Group s capacity to continue operating as a going concern, grow steadily to meet established growth targets and maintain an optimum equity structure to reduce equity cost. In conformity with other sector groups, the Group controls its financing structure based on the leverage ratio. This ratio is calculated as net financial borrowings divided by total equity and net borrowings. Net financial borrowings are determined as the sum of financial debt, institutional equity liabilities corrected for non-current deferred revenues, less cash and cash equivalents. 5.

236 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and OTHER OPERATING INCOME Other operating income is analysed as follows: Thousands of Euros 31 Dec Dec 2011 Amortisation of deferred income related to power purchase agreements 9,888 10,334 Gain related with business combinations 32,393 51,695 Other income 20,835 22,515 63,116 84,544 The power purchase agreements between EDPR NA and its customers were valued, at the acquisition date, using discounted cash flow techniques. At that date, these agreements were valued based on market assumptions by approximately 120 million of Euros (190.4 million of USD) and recorded as a non-current liability (note 33). This liability is amortised over the period of the agreements against other operating income. As at 31 December 2012, the amortisation for the period amounts to 9,888 thousands of Euros (31 December 2011: 10,334 thousands of Euros). In 2012, EDPR Group carried out the purchase price allocation of several companies acquired which originated the recognition of an operating income of 29,754 thousands of Euros in EDPR Romania and 2,639 thousands of Euros in EDPR Italia (see note 17). These occasional advantageous acquisitions were possible to execute mainly due to bargaining power of EDPR, ability to access funding and liquidity and, to a certain extend, the still developing nature of Romanian solar market which enables opportunistic favorable transactions. During 2010, the Group acquired 85% of EDP Renewables Italia, S.r.l (see note 17). The EDPR Group granted the seller a put option over the remanaining 15% of the interest which, in line with the Group's accounting policy, has been treated as an advance purchase. The acquisition cost recognised in the annual accounts for 2011 included the balance settled in cash, consideration contigent on the successful implementation of projects underway and an amount reflecting the fair value of the put option. The contigent consideration and the amount of the put option are both at fair value, based on the EDPR Group's best estimate at the purchase data (see note 34). In 2011, EDPR Italia increased its share capital. The minority shareholder, Energía in Natura, S.r.l., did not subscribe this increase. As a result, the percentage ownership on the non-controlling interests has fallen from 15% to 6.48% and the put option was reduced by the corresponding amount. Futhermore, at 2011 year end, the EDPR Group updated the fair value of the deferred amounts for the 2010 purchase (contigent consideration and put option), taking into account the information existing at year end which included a reduction in the estimated sales price of electricity to be produced and in the number of MW to be installed in the future. In light of the above, the EDPR Group has reduced the liability associated with the put option by 34,625 thousands of Euros and with the contigent consideration by 17,070 thousands of Euros, and recognised an other operating income for the year of 51,695 thousands of Euros (see note 34). 9.

Goodwill impairment tests - EDPR Group The goodwill of the EDPR Group is tested for impairment each year with basis of September. In the case of operational wind farms, it is performed by determining the recoverable value through the value in use. Goodwill is allocated to each country where EDPR Group performs its activity, so the EDPR Group aggregate all the CGUs cash flows in each country in order to calculate the recoverable amount of goodwill allocated. To perform this analysis, a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method was used. This method is based on the principle that the estimated value of an entity or business is defined by its capacity to generate financial resources in the future, assuming these can be removed from the business and distributed among the company s shareholders, without compromising the maintenance of the activity. Therefore, for the businesses developed by EDPR's CGUs, the valuation was based on free cash flows generated by the business, discounted at appropriate discount rates. 38

245 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 The future cash flows projection period used is the useful life of the assets (25 years) which is consistent with the current depreciation method. The cash flows also incorporate the long-term off-take contract in place and long-term estimates of power prices, whenever the asset holds merchant exposure. The main assumptions used for the impairment tests are as follows: - Power produced: net capacity factors used for each CGU utilize the wind studies carried out, which takes into account the long-term predictability of wind output and that wind generation is supported in nearly all countries by regulatory mechanisms that allow for production and priority dispatching whenever weather conditions permit; - Electricity remuneration: regulated or contracted remuneration has been applied where available, as for the CGUs that benefit from regulated remuneration or that have signed contracts to sell their output during all or part of their useful life; where this is not available, prices were derived using price curves projected by the company based on its experience, internal models and using external data references; - New capacity: tests were based on the best information available on the wind farms expected to be built in coming years, adjusted by probability of success and by the growth prospects of the company based on the Business Plan Targets, its historical growth and market size projections. The tests considered the contracted and expected prices to buy turbines from various suppliers; - Operating costs: established contracts for land leases and maintenance agreements were used; other operating costs were projected consistent with the company s experience and internal models; - Terminal value: considered as a 15% of the initial investment in each wind farm, considering inflation; - Discount rate: the discount rates used are post-tax, reflect EDPR Group s best estimate of the risks specific to each CGU and range as follows: Portugal and Spain 7.0% - 7.1% 6.7% United States 5.5% - 6.8% 5.0% - 6.9% Rest of Europe 5.9% - 8.2% 6.0% - 8.6% Impairment tests done have taken into account the regulation changes in each country, as disclosed in note 1. EDPR has performed a series of sensitivity i i analyses of the results l of impairment i tests to reasonable changes in some of the key variables, such as: - EDPR NA, decrease in the Net Capacity Factors of 2.1%; - EDPR NA, 10% reduction of Merchant Prices; - EDPR EU, decrease of the terminal value until 10%. Furthermore, EDPR Group has done an additional sensitivity analysis increasing 100 basis points the discount rate used in case base for EDPR NA and EDPR EU CGU's. These sensitivity analyses performed for each assumption independently would not suppose any impairment for the goodwill allocated to each country. 18.

267 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 With the purpose of hedging the foreign exchange risk of EDP Renováveis and EDP Branch, the EDP Group establishing a Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swap (CIRS) in USD and EUR between EDP Branch and EDP Renováveis. At each reporting date, this CIRS is revalued to its market value, which corresponds to a spot foreign exchange revaluation, resulting in a perfect hedge (revaluation of the investment in EPDR NA and of the USD external financing). As at 31 December 2012, the amount payable by EDP Renováveis to EDP Branch related to this CIRS amounts to 169,862 thousands of Euros (31 December 2011: 208,460 thousands of Euros) (see notes 34 and 36). As part of its operational activities, the EDP Renováveis Group must present guarantees in favour of certain suppliers and in connection with renewable energy contracts. Usually, these guarantees are granted by EDP, S.A., through EDP Branch. As at 31 December 2012, EDP, S.A. and Hidrocantábrico granted financial (45,467 thousands of Euros, 31 December 2011: 57,272 thousands of Euros) and operational (375,772 thousands of Euros, 31 December 2011: 393,130 thousands of Euros) guarantees to suppliers in favour of EDPR EU and EDPR NA. The operational guarantees are issued following the commitments assumed by EDPR EU and EDPR NA in relation to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment, supply agreements, turbines and energy contracts (power purchase agreements) (see note 37). In the normal course of its activity, EDP Renováveis performs business transactions and operations with its related parties based on normal market conditions. 39. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Fair value of financial instruments is based, whenever available, on quoted market prices. Otherwise, fair value is determined through internal models, which are based on generally accepted cash flow discounting techniques and option valuation models or through quotations supplied by third parties. Non-standard instruments may require alternative techniques, which consider their characteristics and the generally accepted market practices applicable to such instruments. These models are developed considering the market variables that affect the underlying instrument, namely yield curves, exchange rates and volatility factors. Market data is obtained from generally accepted suppliers of financial data (Bloomberg and Reuters). As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the following table presents the interest rate curves of the major currencies to which the Group is exposed. These interest rates were used as the base for the fair value calculations made through internal models referred above: 31 Dec Dec 2011 Currencies Currencies EUR USD BRL EUR USD BRL 3 months 019% 0.19% 031% 0.31% 7.06% 1.36% 0.58% 10.41% 6 months 0.32% 0.51% 7.09% 1.62% 0.81% 10.15% 9 months 0.43% 0.69% 7.08% 1.79% 0.97% 10.04% 1 year 0.54% 0.84% 7.14% 1.95% 1.13% 10.04% 2 years 0.38% 0.39% 7.71% 1.31% 0.73% 10.48% 3 years 0.44% 0.48% 8.19% 1.36% 0.82% 10.75% 5 years 0.77% 0.83% 8.64% 1.72% 1.23% 10.98% 7 years 1.12% 1.27% 9.00% 2.07% 1.64% 11.05% 10 years 1.57% 1.81% 9.33% 2.38% 2.03% 11.22% Non-listed equity instruments, for which a reliable and consistent fair value estimate is not available either by internal models or external providers, are recognized at their historical cost. Available for sale financial instruments and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Listed financial instruments are recognized at fair value based on market prices. The financial instruments for which reliable fair value estimates are not available, are recorded in the statement of financial position at their fair value (note 19). Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and suppliers These financial instruments include mainly short term financial assets and liabilities. Given their short term nature at the reporting date, their book values are not significantly different from their fair values. Financial debt The fair value of the financial debt is estimated through internal models, which are based on generally accepted cash flow discounting techniques. At the reporting date, the carrying amount of floating rate loans is approximately their fair value. In case of fixed rate loans, mainly the intercompany loans granted by EDP Group, their fair value is obtained through internal models based on generally accepted discounting techniques. 61

268 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 Derivative financial instruments All derivatives are accounted at their fair value. For those which are quoted in organized markets, the respective market price is used. For over-the-counter derivatives, fair value is estimated through the use of internal models based on cash flow discounting techniques and option valuation models generally accepted by the market, or by dealer price quotations. CIRS with EDP Branch (note 36) With the purpose of hedging the foreign exchange risk resulting from the net investment in EDPR NA, the Group entered into a CIRS in USD and EUR with EDP Branch. This financial derivative is presented in the statement of financial position at its fair value, which is estimated by discounting the projected USD and EUR cash flows. The discount rates and forward interest rates were based on the interest rate curves referred to above and the USD/EUR exchange rate is disclosed on note 28. See also notes 13 and 24. The fair values of assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011 are analysed as follows: Thousands of Euros 31 December 2012 Carrying Fair value amount Difference 31 December 2011 Carrying Fair value amount Difference Financial assets Available for sale investments 9,407 9,407-9,618 9,618 - Trade receivables 180, , , ,105 - Debtors and other assets from commercial activities 159, , , ,240 - Other debtors and other assets 622, , , ,490 - Derivative financial instruments 12,468 12,468-18,080 18,080 - Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Cash and cash equivalents 245, , , ,922-1,230,072 1,230,072-1,084,666 1,084,666 - Financial liabilities Financial debt 3,874,320 3,685, ,688 3,826,122 3,398, ,069 Suppliers 657, , , ,252 - Institutional partnerships in US wind farms 1,679,753 1,679,753-1,783,861 1,783,861 - Trade and other payables from commercial activities 99,469 99, , ,362 - Other liabilities and other payables 171, , , ,672 - Derivative financial instruments 245, , , ,697-6,728,123 6,539, ,688 6,760,966 6,332, ,069 The fair value levels used to valuate EDP Renováveis Group financial assets and liabilities are defined as follows: - Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets and liabilities; - Level 2 - Inputs other that quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); - Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). 31 December December 2011 Thousands of Euros Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Financial assets Available for sale investments - - 9, ,618 Derivative financial instruments - 12, ,080 - Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ,857 9,407-18,291 9,618 Financial liabilities Liabilities arising from options with noncontrolling interests - - 7, ,112 Derivative financial instruments - 245, , ,397 7, ,697 4,112 62

RELEVANT SUBSEQUENT EVENTS EDPR agrees with CTG on the first investment in minority stakes in wind farms On 20 December 2012,EDP Renováveis S.A. ( EDPR ), 77.5% controlled by EDP, entered into an agreement with China Three Gorges International (Hong Kong) Company Limited ( CTGI HK ), a fully owned subsidiary of China Three Gorges ( CTG ), to sell a 49% equity shareholding and 25% of the outstanding shareholders loans in EDP Renováveis Portugal, S.A. ( EDPR PT ) for a total consideration of 359 millions of Euros. The transaction is subject to the customary regulatory approvals with closing expected to occur by the 1H13. The transaction scope covers 615 MW in operation, with an average age of 6 years, as well as 29 MW ready-to-build, remunerated under a feed-in-tariff regime in accordance to Decree-Law 33-A/2005, article 4. This operation corresponds to a non-controlling interests sale in 2013 according with the accounting policy 2 b). This transaction was agreed in the context of the EDP/CTG strategic partnership established in December 2011 and that entered into force on May Spanish Government publishes Royal Decree-Law with regulatory modifications for the electricity sector On2February 2013, the Spanish Government published in the Official State Gazette the Royal Decree-Law 2/2013 ( RDL 2/2013 ) that encompasses a set of regulatory modifications applicable to the Spanish electricity sector and therefore affecting the wind energy assets. The main regulatory changes the RDL 2/2013 envisages vis-à-vis the Royal Decree 661/2007 that have an impact on EDP Renováveis S.A. ( EDPR ) from 1st of January 2013 onwards, are: - The value of the premium in the economic regime of Market + Premium, has been set in 0c /kwh. - Operators of the facilities operating under Market + Premium regime had the option to select before 15 February 2013, and applicable since 1 January 2013 onwards, whether they would like to remain in the Market + Premium regime (this is to sell their electricity at market price). If an option has not been taken before that date, all the facilities currently included in the Market + Premium regime were automatically included in the Feed-in Tariff regime. Furthermore, RDL 2/2013 establishes that an operator that opts to sell the energy in the Market + Premium regime cannot later opt for the Feed-in Tariff regime. - The index used to annually update all the regulated activities in the electricity sector will be the annual inflation excluding energy products and food prices, and any impact of tax changes. There were no changes introduced by Spanish Government regarding the 2020 Renewable Energy Target for Spain. At the closing of 2012 accounts, the Board of Directors of EDPR is evaluating the impact of the above mentioned regulatory changes in the cashflows of the Spanish portfolio. That being said, it is reasonable to expect that such unilateral changes introduced by the Spanish Government through the RD-L 2/2013 may have a significant impact from 2013 onwards via reduction of the cash flows of the projects and thence erode the profitability of the Spanish assets. As a result, EDPR will continue to promote a dialogue to achieve a negotiated solution while maintaining other avenues open. Preliminary sensitivity analysis to the impairment tests would not result in significant impacts in EDPR consolidated accounts. 63

270 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 Assets revaluation in Spain On 27 December, the Spanish Government published the Law 16/2012 that includes various taxation measures directed to public finances consolidation and to promote economic activity. Incorporates important changes in Income Tax, such as the establishment of the option, for taxable corporate income tax to conduct a revaluation. Group management is currently analysing the possibility and the potencial impacts of revaluate its assets in RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS USED The new standards and interpretation that have been issued and not effective for the Group on its consolidated financial statements can be analysed as follows: Annual Improvement Project In May 2012, IASB published the Annual Improvement Project that implied changes to the standards in force. However, the effective date of the referred changes is 1 January 2013, being early adoption allowed. Changes to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements. This changes clarifies the difference between voluntary additional comparative information and the minimim required comparative information in cases of retrospective statements, reclassifications and changes in accounting policies. Generally, the minimum required comparative information is the previous period. No significant impact is expected in the Group from the adoption of this change. Changes to IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment. This amendement clarifies that if spare parts and servicing equipment meet with the definition of property, plant and equipment are not inventory. No significant impact is expected in the Group from the adoption of this change. Changes to IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation. The amendment clarifies that income taxaes arising from distributions to equity holders are accounted in accordance with IAS 12 Income taxes. No significant impact is expected in the Group from the adoption of this change. Changes to IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. The amendments aligns the disclosures requirement for total segment assets with total liabilities in interim financial statements, ensuring that interim disclosures are aligned with annual disclosures in relation to the changes of profit and losses account and other comprehensive income. No significant impact is expected in the Group from the adoption of this change. Standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the Group IFRS 7 (Amendment) - Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Offsseting Financial Assets The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), issued in December 2011, amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, with effective date of mandatory application of 1 January 2013, being early adoption allowed. With this change, the disclosures of financial instruments include information that will evaluate the effect or potential effect of the compensation arrangements, including the countervailing recognised as assets and financial liabilities in the statement of financial position. The adoption of this amendement will only have impact on the financial statement disclosures. IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued in November 2009, IFRS 9 - Financial instruments part I: Classification and measurement, with effective date of mandatory application for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, being allowed its early adoption. This standard, changed in October 2010, has not yet been adopted by the European Union. 64

271 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 This standard is included in phase I of the IASB's comprehensive project to replace IAS 39 and relates to issues of classification and measurement of financial assets. The main issues considered are as follows: - the financial assets can be classified in two categories: at amortised cost or at fair value. This decision will be made upon the initial recognition of the financial assets. Its classification depends on how the entity presents these financial assets and the contractual cash flows associated to each financial asset in the business; - debt instruments model can be measured at amortised cost when the contractual cash-flows represent only principal and interest payments, which means that it contains only basic loan features, and for which an entity holds the asset to collect the contractual cash flows. All the other debt instruments are recognised at fair value; and - equity instruments issued by third parties are recognised at fair value with subsequent changes recognised in the profit and loss. However an entity could irrevocably elect equity instruments at initial recognition for which fair value changes and the realised gain or loss are recognised in fair value reserves. Gains and losses recognised in fair value reserves can not be recycled to profit and loss. This is a discretionary decision, and does not imply that all the equity instruments should be treated on This basis. the dividends received are recognised as income for the year; - there is no exemption that allows unquoted equity investments and related derivatives to measure at cost. However, guidance is provided on the limited circumstances in which the cost of such an instrument may be an appropriate approximation of fair value; - changes in fair value attributable to own credit risk of financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss, shall be recognised in Other comprehensive income. The remaining fair value changes related to these financial liabilities shall be recognised through profit or loss. The amounts recognised in Other comprehensive income shall not be reclassified/transferred to profit and loss. The Group is evaluating the impact of adopting this standard. IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued in May 2011, IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements, with effective date of mandatory application for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, being allowed its early adoption. This standard introduces a new approach in determining which investments should be consolidated, replacing IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC 12 - Consolidation SPE. This standard establishes a single model to be applied in assessing the existence of control over subsidiaries, where an investor has control over a subsidiary when it is exposed, or has the right, to variable returns arising from its involvement in the subsidiary and has the ability to influence these returns because of the power over it. Additionally, the concept of "de facto control" was introduced. The Group is evaluating the impact of adopting this standard. IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued in May 2011, IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements, with effective date of mandatory application for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, being allowed its early adoption. This standard superseded IAS 31 - Interests in Joint Ventures and introduces several changes for accounting jointly controlled investments, the main aspect is the elimination of the option to consolidate joint ventures by the proportional method, being the equity method mandatory. The structure of a joint agreement ceases to be the main factor in determining the accounting model to adopt. The classification of a joint agreement requires the identification and evaluation of the structure, legal form of the contractual agreement and other facts and circumstances. The Group is evaluating the impact of adopting this standard. IFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued in May 2011, IFRS 10 - Consolidated financial statements, with effective date of mandatory application for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, being allowed its early adoption. 65

272 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 The information disclosed has to help users of the financial statements evaluate the nature and risks associated with its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on the financial statements. The main issues considered are as follows: - for the interests in subsidiaries, should be disclosed: (i) the composition of the group;(ii) non-controlling interests; (iii) significant restrictions on the parent's ability to access or use the assets and settle the liabilities of its subsidiares; (iv) the nature of, and changes in, the risks associated with interests in consolidated structured entities; and (v) changes in its ownership interest that did or did not result in a loss of control during the reporting period; - for the interests in joint arrangements and associates, it should be disclosed: (i) the nature, extent and financial effects of its interests in joint arrangements and associates, including information about contractual relationships with other parties; and (ii) the nature of, and the changes in, the associated risks with its interests in joint ventures and associates; - for the interests in unconsolidated structured entities, should be disclose: (i) the nature and the extent of its interests in unconsolidated structured entities; and (ii) the evaluation of the nature and changes in the risks associated with the interests in unconsolidated structured entities. The Group is evaluating the impact of adopting this standard. IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued in May 2011, IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement, with effective date of mandatory application for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, being allowed its early adoption. This standard presents a revised concept of fair value and determines new disclosures requirements. The main aspects considered are as follows: (i) principles of fair value, (ii) appropriate valuations techniques and fair value hierarchy and (iii) additional disclosure requirements. No significant impact in the Group is expected from the adoption of this standard. IAS 1 (Amended) - Presentation of Financial Statements The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued in June 2011, IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements: Presentation of items of other comprehensive income, with effective date of mandatory application for periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012, being allowed its early adoption. The principal p changes are the following: - the amendments retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income ineither a single continuos statement or in two separate but consecutive statements; - items of other comprehensive are required to be grouped into those that will and will not subsequently be reclassified to profit or loss; and - tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be alocated on the same basis. The Group is evaluating the impact from the adoption of this change. IAS 28 (Amended) - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued in May 2011, IAS 28 (Amended) - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, with effective date of mandatory application for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, being allowed its early adoption. This amendment to IAS 28 (2003) describes the accounting treatment to be adopted by the investor in associates and joint ventures, defining the accounting requirements for applying the equity method for both associates and joint ventures. No significant impact in the Group is expected from the adoption of this change. IAS 32 (Amended) - Financial Instruments: Presentation The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued in December 2011, IAS 32 (Amended) - Financial Statements: Presentation, with effective date of mandatory application for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, being allowed its early adoption. This amendment clarifies the required conditions to be met in order to present the net position of the financial assets and liabilities in the financial position of an entity, as follows: (i) the entity currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts, and (ii) the entity has the intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. No significant impact in the Group is expected from the adoption of this change. 66

273 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and ENVIRONMENT ISSUES Expenses of environmental nature are the expenses that were identified and incurred to avoid, reduce or repair damages of an environmental nature that result from the Group's normal activity. These expenses are booked in the income statement of the year, except if they qualify to be recognised as an asset, as according to IAS 16. During the period, the environmental expenses recognised in the income statement refer to costs with the environmental management plan are analysed as follows: Thousands of Euros 31 Dec Dec 2011 Environmental Expenses 3,174 1,910 3,174 1,910 As referred in accounting policy 2o), the Group has established provisions for dismantling and decommissioning of property, plant and equipment when a legal or contractual obligation exists to dismantle and decommission those assets at the end of their useful lifes. Consequently, the Group has booked provisions for property, plant and equipment related to electricity wind generation for the responsibilities of restoring sites and land to its original condition, in the amount of 63,336 thousands of Euros as at 31 December 2012 (31 December 2011: 57,694 thousands of Euros) (see note 31). 43. SEGMENTAL REPORTING The Group generates energy from renewable resources and has four reportable segments which are the Group s strategic business units, Portugal, Spain, Rest of Europe and USA. The strategic business units have operations in different geographic zones and are managed separately because their characteristics are quite different mainly as a consequence of different regulations in each zone. For each of the strategic business units, the Group s CEO reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis. Other operations include the EDPR BR subgroup companies, the financial investments and remaining activities (biomass and mini-hydric generation plants) not included in the reportable segments. None of these segments meets any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments in 2012 or The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as described in note 3. Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included in Annex 2. Performance is measured based on segment profit, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Group s CEO. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm s length basis. A business segment is an identifiable component of the Group, aimed at providing a single product or service, or a group of related products or services, and it is subject to risks and returns that can be distinguished from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is an identifiable component of the Group, aimed at providing a single product or service, or a group of related products or services, within a specific economic environment, and it is subject to risks and returns that can be differentiated from those that operate in other economic environments. The Group generates energy from renewable sources in several locations and its activity is managed based on the following business segments: Portugal - Includes essentially the EDPR Portugal Group companies; Spain - Includes the EDPR EU Group companies that operate in Spain; Rest of Europe - Includes the EDPR EU Group companies that operate in Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Romania and United Kingdom; United States of America includes the EDPR NA Group companies that operate in this country; Other - Includes the EDPR BR Group, EDPR Canada Group companies, the financial investments and remaining activities (Biomass and mini-hydric generation plants) not included in the business segments. The segment "Adjustments" corresponds to the adjustments related to the consolidation of financial investments in subsidiaries of EDPR Group and to the other consolidation and intra-segment adjustments. Segment definition The amounts reported in each business segment result from the aggregation of the subsidiaries and business units defined in each segment perimeter and the elimination of the intra-segment transactions. 67

274 EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 The statement of financial position of each subsidiary and business unit is determined based in the amounts booked directly in the subsidiaries that compose the segment, including the intra-segment eliminations, without any inter-segment allocation adjustment. The income statement for each segment is determined based on the amounts booked directly in the subsidiaries financial statements and business units, adjusted by the intra-segments annullations. 44.

The wind farm operators can voluntarily invest to obtain further remuneration visibility, through the acquisition of a new tariff scheme to be applied upon the initial 15 years established by law. The proceeds will be used to reduce the overall costs of the Portuguese electricity system.

Through this regime, wind energy will be remunerated between year 16 th and 22 nd according with: The Floor Price whenever the daily average wholesale market price is below the Floor Price; The Cap Price whenever the daily average wholesale market price is above the Cap Price, and; The daily average wholesale market price when it is within the Floor and the Cap.

In 2012, EDPR entered the solar PV technology by commissioning 39 MW in Romania and completed its first wind farms (40MW) in Italy. From the total 7.6 GW of its EBITDA consolidated capacity, 90% are remunerated according with long-term contracts and regulated frameworks, and only 10% are exposed to US spot electricity markets (although partly with short-term hedges). During 2012, EDPR added a total of 504 MW of new capacity to its portfolio of which 440 MW to its fully consolidated capacity and 64 MW (attributable to EDPR) through the Eólicas de Portugal consortium. In the period, EDPR added in Europe and 215 MW in the US. In Europe, 110 MW were added in Spain, 65 MW in Romania (of which 39 MW of Solar PV), 40 MW in Italy, 8 MW in France and 66 MW in Portugal (of which 64 MW correspond to the ongoing capacity growth of the Eólicas de Portugal consortium that is attributable to EDPR). From this new capacity in Europe, 179 MW were added in the 4Q12. In the US, EDPR added in 2012 the Marble River wind farm in New York State with 215 MW of installed capacity (70 MW added in 4Q12). 14

EDPR continues to leverage on its competitive advantages to maximize wind farm output and on its diversified portfolio to mitigate wind volatility. In Europe, EDPR obtained a 26% load factor (+1.1pp YoY), driven by higher load factor in Spain and in Rest of Europe. In the US, the 2012 average load factor was stable YoY at 33%, despite the quarterly volatility experienced throughout the year. In Brazil, the average load factor was 31% vs. 35% in GWh /11 Europe 8,277 7, % US 9,937 9,330 +6% Brazil % Total 18,445 16, % EDPR s electricity output increased 10% YoY to 18.4 GWh, delivering growth in all geographies. The company s operations in Europe, backed by Central and Eastern European markets, drove the overall production increase (+13% YoY), with US and Brazil growing +6% and +36% YoY, respectively. The contribution of new PPAs and the investments in regulated markets, resulted in 86% of the year's production sold under PPAs or regulated framework schemes. The exposure to spot electricity prices will decrease further in 2013, following the 12-months contribution of the PPAs that started throughout Selling prices (per MWh) /11 Europe % US $47.1 $ % Brazil R$286.4 R$ % Average Selling Price % The average selling price increased to 63.5/MWh (+ 5.8/MWh or +10% YoY) as a result of: i) higher selling prices in Europe (+ 2.7/MWh); ii) favourable evolution in the /$ forex (+ 1.5/MWh); iii) the production mix change following higher production in Europe (+ 0.7/MWh); 15

300 iv) US average price improvement (+ 0.6/MWh), and; v) higher selling price and output in Brazil (+ 0.3/MWh). The higher output (+10% YoY) and the better selling prices (+10% YoY) drove electricity sales to increase 21% YoY to 1,158m. Income from Institutional Partnership totalled 127m in 2012 (+14% YoY) given: i) the dollar appreciation (+8% YoY), and; ii) the higher electricity output in the US (+6% YoY) leading to higher PTC related income. All in all, EDPR revenues in 2012 increased 20% from 2011 to 1.3bn.

302 Overall, 2012 was a year where EDPR has strengthen its balance sheet, by increasing total equity by +5% YoY and reducing its total liabilities by -1%. Total assets in 2012 totaled 13.3bn, of which c. 80% ( 10.5bn) are related to net Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) reflecting the cumulative net invested capital in renewable energy generation. Total net PP&E increased + 82m, mainly following the new additions in the period (+ 690m) reduced by the depreciation charges and impairment losses in the period (- 501m), the effect from Fx translation mostly due to the USD devaluation (- 89m) and the disposals and write-offs (- 19m). Total cumulative net invested capital related to renewable energy assets in operation at the end of 2012 (excluding work in progress related to assets under construction and pipeline and excluding investment grants received) amounted to 9.5bn. Net intangible assets and goodwill of 1.3bn mostly include the goodwill assigned to acquisitions in the US ( 588m) and Spain ( 535m) while total net accounts receivable of 1.0bn comprise loans to related parties ( 538m), trade receivables ( 180m), guarantees ( 64m) and tax receivables ( 55m). Total equity at year-end of 5.7bn increased by + 296m during the year essentially from the sale of non-controlling interests of + 179m and the net profit of the period of + 136m (including + 10m attributable to non-controlling interests). Total liabilities of 7.6bn at year-end 2012, stable versus prior year-end, consist c. 51% from financial debt ( 3.9bn) and c. 12% from liabilities related to institutional partnerships ( 0.9bn). Liabilities related to institutional partnerships decreased by - 69m to 942m, mainly as a result of tax benefits monetized (- 111m), payments to institutional investors (- 16m), interests accrued ( 67m) and Fx translation (- 18m). Deferred revenues from institutional partnerships of 738m consist of the deferred income related to tax benefits monetized by the institutional partners yet to be recognized in the income statement throughout the remaining lifetime of the respective assets. Deferred Tax liabilities in the amount of 381m reflect the tax effects from temporary differences between assets and liabilities on an accounting basis and on tax basis, while accounts payable of 1.6bn include payables to PP&E suppliers ( 580m), deferred income related to Investment grants received ( 324m), liabilities from fair value of derivative financial instruments ( 245m) and tax payables ( 57m). 18

304 In 2012, the company s revenues increased 20% YoY to 1,285m, on the back of higher output and stronger prices. Opex defined as Operating Costs (net) minus Other operating income was up 17% YoY, below the top-line growth evolution. On an unitary basis, Opex/MW and Opex/MWh increased 8% and 6% YoY, mostly impacted by a stronger US Dollar and write-offs. Excluding the forex impact and write-offs, Opex/MW and Opex/MWh only increased by 4% and 2% YoY. In 2012, Supplies and services (which includes O&M costs) together with personnel costs increased 13% YoY, reflecting the stronger US Dollar, the higher average capacity in operation and lower capitalisations as a result of lower FTEs allocated to construction and development activities. Other operating costs (which mainly includes operating taxes, leases and rents) grew 29% YoY following the top-line growth, the stronger US Dollar, higher taxes (Spain and France) and grid access fees (Spain), and further write-offs related to pipeline rationalisation. Unitary EBITDA per average MW in operation, a metric to measure the assets profitability, increased 9% YoY to 131k in 2012 showing evidence of the ongoing improvement of EDPR s portfolio. As a result, EBITDA in 2012 totalled 938m, 17% higher vs The operating income (EBIT) increased 30% YoY to 450m in 2012, following the EBITDA performance and the 7% higher depreciation and amortisation. D&A were impacted by the new capacity brought into operation, the extension of the assets useful life and impairments ( 53m) mostly related to projects under development in Spain. At the financial results level, net interest costs before capitalisation increased 8% YoY to 205m in 2012, below the 14% YoY average financial debt evolution. Institutional partnership costs were up 4% YoY given the stronger US Dollar, while forex differences and derivatives remained positive. Other financial expenses in the 4Q12 standalone amounted to 13m impacted by the early termination costs of financial debt (in line with 3Q12 excluding this effect). Pre-Tax Profit increased 53% YoY to 182m in In the period, income taxes amounted to 46m, with an effective tax rate of 25% (vs. 24% in 2011). Non-controlling interests totalled 10m, following the better performance in EDPR Europe and the sale of a non-controlling interest in 599 MW in the US. All in all, Net Profit increased 43% YoY to 126m in 2012 while Adjusted Net Profit increased by 32% YoY to 134m when adjusted by the non-recurrent events with impact on the operating income and by Forex differences and capital gains (in 2012 and 2011). 20

Operating Cash-Flow increased 4% YoY to 666m which compares unfavourably with the FFO performance given the non-recurrent working capital changes registered in 2011 and the increased stock of green certificates in Romania, which were mostly sold only at the beginning of The key cash-flow items that explain the 2012 cash evolution are the following: Funds From Operations, resulting from EBITDA after net interest expenses, income from associates and current taxes increased 11% YoY to 655m; Operating Cash-Flow, before net interest costs, adjusted by non-cash items (namely income from US institutional partnerships) and net of changes in working capital, amounted to 666m (+4% YoY). The changes in working capital YoY comparison is influenced by non-recurrent receivables in 2011 (mostly related to VAT collection) and the 21

306 increased stock of green certificates in Romania, which were mostly sold only at the beginning of 2013; Capital expenditures with the ongoing construction and development works totalled 612m, while other investments activities amounted to 22m. In the period, EDPR completed two minority stake transactions executing its asset rotation strategy of selling non-controlling interests in operationally optimized assets. Through the first sale of a 49% equity stake in a 599 MW portfolio of wind farms to Borealis, EDPR received $230m ( 177m) in Dec-12. The instalment of the minority stake transaction announced in Dec-12 with CTG will occur in the 1H13. All in all, Net Debt decreased 33m to 3,355m. In 2012, EDPR was for the first time freecash flow positive and going forward as the Operating Cash-Flow continues to grow and the asset rotation strategy is executed, EDPR is expected to enter into a solid free-cash flow generation cycle. Net Debt ( m) Bank loans and other Loans with EDP Group related companies 2,957 2,989 (32) Financial Debt 3,874 3, Cash and cash equivalents Loans to EDP Group related companies and cash pooling Financial assets held for trading Cash & Equivalents Net Debt 3,355 3,387 (33) By Dec-12, EDPR net debt decreased 33m vs. Dec-11 to 3.4bn given that the Operating Cash- Flow and the first instalment of the asset rotation strategy more than covered the investment activities and the debt service of the period. The average financial debt increased 14% in the last 12 months ( 4.0bn in 2012 vs 3.5bn in 2011), while the average net debt increased 8% YoY. 76% of EDPR s financial debt was contracted through shareholder loans with the EDP Group EDPR's principal shareholder, while loans with financial institutions represented 24%. To continue to diversify its funding sources EDPR keeps on executing top quality projects enabling the company to secure local project finance at competitive costs. In 2012, EDPR signed three new project finances for a total of 274m for projects in Spain (125 MW), Belgium (57 MW) and Romania (57 MW). Moreover, all of EDPR's wind installed capacity in Romania (285 MW) has now project finance structures fully secured ( 238m). 22

307 Liabilities referred to as Institutional Partnerships decreased 68m YoY ( 50m excluding the forex translation effect) to 942m, due to the tax benefits captured by the tax equity partners. As of Dec-12, 57% of EDPR s financial debt was Euro denominated, while 39% was funded in US Dollar given the company s investments in the US. The remaining debt is mainly related to funding in Polish Zloty an in Brazilian Real. 92% of the financial debt is at a fixed rate and most of it (c.80%) has a post-2018 maturity. EDPR continues to follow a long-term fixed rate funding strategy to match the Operating Cash-Flow profile with its financing costs, therefore mitigating its interest rate risk. As of Dec-12, the average interest rate was 5.2%, a 20bps decrease vs. Dec-11, reflecting the longterm maturity of the current debt and the attractive rates closed in the latest funding. 4.3 Competitive Landscape and Business Plan EDPR is a global leading energy company. Our growth has been the result of an extraordinary ability to execute projects and to smoothly integrate new companies, people and cultures. Our markets provide attractive growth potential, mainly due to their growth prospects and the fact that they possess stable regulatory structures that allows for profitable returns. EDPR continues to look at the renewable energy sector with a long-term outlook, believing that the environmental, economic and technological trends that have underpinned the currently favorable renewable energy market conditions will continue to drive further support for growth in our markets. EDPR has a solid history executing projects and delivering targets. We consistently increased installed capacity through the successful development of pipeline. The company s successful results stem from a unique combination of factors: strong track record in execution, first class assets with above average wind resource quality, a well balanced portfolio in terms of geography, stage of development and revenue sources, and a competitive turbine supply strategy. The combination of diversified operations with a stable revenue base spread across countries with favorable regulatory regimes limits the exposure to market prices of electricity and provides significant visibility and stability. At the core of EDPR s confidence in achieving these targets, is a dynamic, highly qualified and experienced team of world-wide employees with the track record and ambition to deliver upon our targets. 23

308 5. RISK MANAGEMENT EDPR s risk framework was designed to not be a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities and processes of the company, but to be part of the responsibilities of management as an integrating element of all organizational processes, including strategic planning. RISK FRAMEWORK AND PROCESS In EDPR s risk framework, risk process aims to link the company s overall strategy to manager s day-to-day decisions, enabling the company to increase the likelihood of achieving its strategic objectives. EDPR s general strategy is translated into major strategic questions that are grouped by risk area and then subject to EDPR s risk process. The outcome of the risk process is a set of specific guidelines per risk area that will guide managers in their decisions according to the company s risk profile. 24

309 RISK FUNCTIONS AND RISK COMMITTEE Risk management in EDPR is supported by three distinct organizational functions: EDPR s risk framework was designed to not be a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities and processes of the company, but to be part of the responsibilities of management as an integrating element of all organizational processes, including strategic planning. The following list summarizes the main risk areas and descriptions of EDPR s business: 1. Countries & regulations - Changes in regulations may impact EDPR s business in a given country 2. Revenues - Revenues received by EDPR s projects may diverge from what is expected 3. Financing - EDPR may not be able to raise enough cash to finance its planned Capex; EDPR may not be able to fulfill its financial obligations 4. Wind turbine contracts - Changes in turbine prices may impact projects profitability; Contracts should take into account the pipeline development risk 5. Pipeline development - EDPR may deliver an installed capacity different from its targets or suffer delays and/or anticipations in its installation 6. Operations - Projects may deliver a volume different from expected 25

310 RISK AREAS AND RISK RELATED STRATEGIC QUESTIONS 3.1 Countries and regulations Regulatory risks The development and profitability of renewable energy projects are subject to policies and regulatory frameworks. The jurisdictions in which EDPR operates provide numerous types of incentives that support the energy generated from renewable sources. The European Union and various US federal and state bodies have regularly reaffirmed their desire to continue and strengthen support for renewable energy sources, although due to the financial difficulties that Governments are experiencing, remuneration schemes have become less competitive in some countries. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that the current support will be maintained or that the electricity produced by future renewable energy projects will benefit from state purchase obligations, tax incentives, or other support measures for the electricity generation from renewable energy sources. Regulation promoting green energy has been revised or is being under study in a large number of regions. Management of regulatory risks EDPR is managing its exposure to regulatory risks through diversification (being present in several countries) and by being an active member in several wind associations. Sensitivity analyses to updated regulatory scenarios are also performed. 3.2 Revenues Exposure to market electricity prices EDPR faces limited market price risk as it pursues a strategy of being present in countries or regions with long term visibility on revenues. In most countries where EDPR is present, prices are determined through regulated framework mechanisms. In the markets where there is expected short term volatility in market prices, EDPR uses various financial and commodity hedging instruments in order to optimize the exposure to fluctuating electricity prices. However, it may not be possible to successfully hedge the exposures or there may be other difficulties in executing the hedging strategy. 26

311 In Europe, EDPR operates in countries where the selling price is defined by a feed-in-tariff (Spain, Portugal and France) or in markets where on top of the electricity price, EDPR receives either a pre-defined regulated premium or a green certificate, whose price is achieved on a regulated market (Spain, Belgium, Poland, and Romania). Additionally, EDPR is developing activity in Italy and UK where current incentive system is based on green certificates. Recently Italy changed to a feed in tariff from green certificates and UK is in process. In North America, EDPR is focus on developing in states which have an RPS program in place, providing higher revenues visibility through the REC (Renewable Energy Credit) market and noncompliance penalties. The North American market does not provide a regulated framework system for the electricity price although it may exist for the RECs in some states. Most of EDPR s capacity in the US has predefined prices determined by long-term contracts with local utilities in line with the Company s policy of signing long-term contracts for the output of its wind farms. In Brazilian operations, the selling price is defined through a public auction which is later translated into a long-term contract. Management of risks related to exposure to market electricity prices Under EDPR s global approach to optimize the exposure to market electricity prices, the Company evaluates on a permanent basis if there are any deviations to the defined limits (measured through EBITDA at risk), assessing in which markets financial hedges may be more effective to correct it. In 2012, in order to manage such exposure, EDPR financially hedged a significant part of its generation in Spain while in the US it closed a significant portion of its exposure through several power purchase agreements, long term hedges and financial swaps. Additionally, EDPR hedged part of the merchant generation in Poland and Romania Risk related to volatility of energy production The amount of electricity generated by EDPR from its wind farms, and therefore EDPR s profitability, is dependent on climatic conditions, which vary across the locations of the wind farms, and from season to season and year to year. Energy output at wind farms may decline if wind speed falls outside specific ranges, as turbines will only operate when wind speeds are within those ranges. Variations and fluctuations in wind conditions at wind farms may result in seasonal and other fluctuations in the amount of electricity that is generated and, consequently, in the operating results and efficiency. 27

312 Management of risks related to volatility of energy production EDPR mitigates wind resource volatility and seasonality by having a strong knowledge in the design of its wind farms and through geographical diversification in each country and in different countries of its asset base. This portfolio effect enables EDPR to offset wind variations in each area and to keep the total energy generation relatively steady. Currently, EDPR is present in 11 countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil. There exist financial products to hedge weather risk. EDPR is currently exploring the interest of contracting those products in specific cases Financing Risks related to financial market exposure EDPR is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates through financing. This risk can be mitigated by contracting fixed rates and financial instruments such as hedges and interest rate swaps. Additionally, because of its presence in several countries, currency fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on the financial results. EDPR hedges against currency fluctuations by employing natural hedging strategies, and using hedging instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts and Cross Interest Rate Swaps. EDPR s hedging efforts minimize but don t eliminate the impact of interest rate and exchange rate volatility. Management of financial risks The evolution of the financial markets is analyzed on an on-going basis in accordance to EDP Group s risk management policy approved by the EDPR`s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is responsible for the definition of general risk-management principles and the establishment of exposure limits based on the recommendation of the Risk Committee. Taking into account the risk management policy and approved exposure limits, the Finance team identifies evaluates, and submits the financial strategy appropriate to each project/location for the Board s approval. 28

313 Interest rate risk The purpose of the interest rate risk management policies is to reduce the exposure of long term debt cash flows from market fluctuations, mainly by contracting long term debt with a fixed rate, but also through the settlement of derivative financial instruments to swap from floating rate to fixed rate when long term debt is issued with floating rates. EDPR has a portfolio of interest-rate derivatives with maturities ranging from 2 to 14 years. Sensitivity analyses of the fair value of financial instruments to interest-rate fluctuations are performed. Given the policies adopted by EDPR Group, its financial cash flows are substantially independent from the fluctuation in interest rates Exchange rate risk EDPR operates internationally and is exposed to the exchange-rate risk resulting from investments in foreign subsidiaries. Currently, the main currency exposure is the U.S. dollar/euro currency fluctuation risk that results principally from our operations in the US. With the ongoing increasing capacity in others non-euro regions, EDPR is also exposed to different currencies in Poland, Romania, Brazil, United Kingdom and Canada. EDPR s general policy is the Natural Hedging in order to match currency cash flows, minimizing the impact of changes in the exchange rate and preserving value. The essence of this approach is to create financial foreign currency outflows to match equivalent foreign currency inflows Counterparty credit risk Counterparty risk is the default risk of third-parties in an agreement with EDPR either due to temporary liquidity issues or long term systemic issues. Management of counterparty credit risk EDPR s policy in terms of the counterparty credit risk on financial transactions is managed by an analysis of the technical capacity, competitiveness, credit notation and exposure to each counterparty. Counterparties in derivatives and financial transactions are restricted to high-quality credit institutions, therefore, there cannot be considered any significant risk of counterparty noncompliance and no collateral is demanded for these transactions. 29

314 3.3.3 Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that EDPR will not be able to meet its financial obligations. Management of liquidity risk EDPR s strategy to manage liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to EDPR s reputation. EDPR has a diversified financial structure composed of corporate debt and project finance, which. considers among other factors, financing cost, project ownership and project currency liquidity. Finally, EDPR uses a financial model to forecast liquidity risk in the medium and long term to meet strategic targets previously set (EBITDA, debt ratio and others). 3.4 Wind turbine contracts Wind turbine supply risk The wind turbine generator (WTG) is a key element in the development of EDPR s wind-related energy projects, as the shortfall or an unexpected sharp increase in WTG prices can create a question mark on new project s development and profitability. WTG represents on average 70 to 80% of a wind farm s capital expenditure. Management of wind turbine supply risk EDPR faces limited risk to the availability and price increase of WTG s due to the framework agreements with the major global wind turbines suppliers. The Company uses a large mix of turbines suppliers in order to diversify the wind turbine supply risk. 3.5 Pipeline development Permitting risks Wind farms are subject to strict regulations at different authority levels (international, national, state, regional and local) relating to the development, construction, grid interconnection and operation of power plants. Among other things, these laws regulate landscape and environmental aspects, building licenses, land use and land securing and access to the grid issues. 30

315 While level of exigency might be different depending on the geographies, we acknowledge a trend for legislations to align towards the most restrictive rules and development risks concentrating on the consenting (namely environmental and urbanistic aspects) and connection side. In this context, the experience EDPR is able to gather in a certain country will be useful to anticipate and deal with future similar changes in other countries. During the development and design phase, EDPR focuses on the optimization of its projects. By mastering the variables under our control, such as choice of locations, optimal lay-out, we intend to make our projects more resilient to an adverse external environment Management of permitting risk EDPR mitigates this risk by generating optionality, by having development activities in 11 different countries (Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil) with a portfolio of projects in several stages of maturity. EDPR has a large pipeline located in the most attractive regions providing a buffer to overcome potential delays in the development of new projects, ensuring growth targets and being able to compensate permitting delays in some geographies with development efforts in others. 3.6 Operations Wind turbine performance risk Wind farm output depends upon the availability and operating performance of the equipment necessary to operate it, mainly the components of wind turbines and transformers. Therefore, the risk is that the performance of the turbine does not reach its optimum thus leading to lower than expected value. Management of wind turbine performance risk EDPR mitigates this risk by using a mix of turbine suppliers which minimizes technological risk, by signing a medium-term full-scope maintenance agreement with the turbine supplier and by an adequate preventive and scheduled maintenance program. Most recently, EDPR is externalizing non core technical O&M activities of its wind farms, while primary and value added activities continue controlled by EDPR. 31

316 6. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS In line with EDPR s general risk policy and strategy EDPR uses financial derivative instruments and enters in hedging positions and transactions with the sole intent to protect against those risks and, as a consequence, mitigate fluctuations of its earnings and/or changes in its equity. The type of derivative instruments contracted and their respective fair values are described in detail as part of the note 36 to the attached Condensed Financial Statements. 7. TREASURY STOCKS (OWN SHARES) At the Annual Shareholders meeting of 2010, the Board of Directors was authorized, during a term of five years from the date of the General Shareholders Meeting, for the derivative acquisition and sale of own shares by the Company and/or other affiliate companies, to the maximum limit established by the Law and in accordance with its terms. EDPR has not executed any acquisition and consequently any trade of its own shares. 8. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT (R&D) Beyond the commercial activities, EDP Renováveis supports EDP Inovação (EDPI) in developing different projects with the objective of improving competitiveness. These projects are mainly focused on solar, offshore wind and other technologies. This agreement with EDPI reinforces the long term commitment of EDPR to support R&D activities in areas related with its business. 32

317 9. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT EDPR is a leading company in renewable energy. We produce clean and green energy, energy without emissions. Our strategy towards the environment is based in four pillars: the generation of CO 2 -free energy, a strategy to minimize impacts during the life-cycle of our wind farms, a culture of respect for the biodiversity and a culture of responsibility and recycling in our offices. Climate Change Strategy Our portfolio of 8 GW of installed capacity contributes every year to the worldwide fight against climate change. We significantly improve local and global air quality by mitigating emissions that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere due to the operation of other kinds of energy generation based on fossil fuels. During 2012, EDPR has produced 18.4 TWh that is estimated to avoid the emission of 14,521 thousand tons of CO2. 33

318 CO 2 avoided (thousand tons) 1 7,241 9,612 12,093 14, Estimated as: [production x country emission factors] The company growth plans of pure renewable energy represent a solid commitment to foster the use of green energy sources. Moreover, we are committed to support the use the best technologies available in order to preserve natural resources and reduce pollution. Environmental Strategy In order to protect the environment, we complement our strategy of fighting against climate change with an environmentally responsible management of our wind farms. This strategy is supported by the Environmental and Biodiversity policies based on EDP Group s Guidelines that were approved by EDPR Executive Committee. Our policies reflect a responsible management of the environment along the whole value chain. From the very early stages of project development when it is critical to perform environmental and cultural feasibility studies to the decommissioning of our wind farms where our environmental strategy includes a waste management plan, environmental monitoring plans and habitat restoration. All this process is supported by an extensive local knowledge that allows us to ensure environmental compliance during the project life cycle. Moreover, EDPR pursues to minimize impacts on the eco-system. When impacts cannot be prevented, we implement compensation measures, including partnerships with environmental associations aimed at achieving a globally positive biodiversity balance. Nevertheless, wind farms are typically constructed in rural areas where wind resource is abundant and the operation of wind farms is compatible with current land use. Once construction is complete, less than 1% of the total project area is taken out of permanent production, and its change of use is approved by the competent authorities. 34

319 The primary use of this land is for access roads to the wind turbine locations, a small area for the wind turbine and electrical transformer, and a gravelled pad area for a crane to be used in construction and maintenance activities. Environmental Management System and ISO certification To guarantee the proper management of the environmental aspects and compliance with applicable environmental legislation, EDPR initiated in 2008 the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS). The EMS covers, among others, the procedures applicable to all wind farms in operation to establish operational controls, monitoring and measurements of the relevant environmental aspects. Environment surveillance is carried out periodically to assess the significance of the environmental aspects. The frequency of further surveillances is established in the monitoring plan given the assessment made. There are a few cases in which the surveillance is performed on a daily basis. In Europe, the EMS has been ISO 14001:2004 certified. By the end of 2012, all EDPR European wind farms that have been in service before June 2012 and operated by EDPR have been certified, accounting for MW, about 50% of EDPR installed capacity. MW Certified ISO 14001:2004 3,664 2,

320 10. HUMAN CAPITAL One of the main competitive advantages that leads EDPR to deliver, year after year, exceptional operational results is the company s human capital. A young world class team with excellent qualifications and an extensive local knowledge. EDPR s capacity to attract and retain this qualified workforce has been of vital importance to develop and retain a strong know-how essential to deliver on its strategy. HUMAN CAPITAL SNAPSHOT In 2012, EDPR employed 861 people, 32% of which are located in North America and Brazil, while 68% work in Europe. Of our employees, 99% have an undetermined contract.

322 EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION The satisfaction of our employees has been one of the key drivers to retain our highly qualified workforce. Providing one of the best workplaces in the regions where we are present increases our employees pride and ownership feeling for the company. It is also a great communication channel to transmit our values to potential new hires. Therefore, at EDPR we pursue and have obtained different certifications that confirm our distinction as one of the best places to work. Great Place to Work In 2012, EDPR was included in the Great Place to Work (GPTW) ranking in Spain. This was achieved following a survey sent to the company s employees, by an independent body, asking for their opinion on many factors of company life. Despite being the first time we applied to be included in this ranking, EDPR ranked among the top six best companies to work in Spain, in the 250 to 500 employees category. Top Workplace in the US EDPR in 2012 was voted a top workplace in the US for the third year in a row. More than 72,500 Houston-area employees weighed in with opinions for this year s Houston Chronicle s Top Workplaces section rating their companies in such areas as opportunities for advancement, the value of their pay and benefits, and their bosses communication and management skills. COMPENSATION POLICY AND OTHER BENEFITS We are committed to offer a competitive compensation and benefits package to recognize the work and talent of our employees, with no distinctions between full time and part time employees. Our compensation policy addresses the needs of every local market, with enough flexibility to adapt to the specifics of each region. It is based on a fixed base, complemented by a variable component that depends on a performance evaluation measured against company performance, area, and individual KPIs. We support our remunerations package with multiple benefits and a Flexible Remuneration Package, which allows our employees to benefit from tax incentives according to local legislation. In addition, we reached agreements with local partners, to offer our employees discounts on specific products. 38

323 WORK LIFE BALANCE One of our main focuses continues to be the promotion and encouragement of work-life balance of our employees. This pursuit increases our employee s satisfaction, while boosting their productivity, commitment and accountability. EDPR implemented work-life balance programs throughout its geographies and aims constantly at improving and providing additional benefits. Benefits in the work-life balance program are specific and include, among others depending on the geographies, subsidies for employees children to perform summer activities, additional paid leave to extend parental leave or to celebrate the birthday and others. In 2011, EDPR has been recognized with the Family-Responsible Employer Certification (Empresa Familiarmente Responsable), for its work-life balance practices in Spain. During 2012, our practices have been audited, as part of the certification renewal process performed every two years. The results of the audit process confirmed the excellence of the current management model, as well as the compliance with the certification standards. There was a special mention in the audit outcome to the efforts continuous improvement of the company s practices, which should be positively reflected in future evaluations. Ensuring that employees have time for family and friends is one of the pillars to achieve a healthy work-life balance. During 2012, we hosted activities for employees children. We wanted them to visit our offices and see where their parents work. These activities took place in Europe and in the US along the year. VOLUNTEERING As a sustainable company that is proud of being an active member of our many communities, our employees are encouraged to actively participate in their communities and to be responsive and aware of emerging needs through many volunteering initiatives. Moreover, our volunteering practices create an environment both within the company and in the communities where we do business that is more open to near ideas, supportive of individual differences and embodies what is best in volunteerism. 39

324 To engage in our volunteering programs, employees can participate in several campaigns, by donating, or by engaging in several activities, during working hours or during the weekends. In the US, there is a Volunteering Committee that plans periodic activities aimed at generating a positive impact in society. EDPR strives to train and prepare its top quality team, with a clear focus on tackling the challenges and opportunities of the future. To do so, EDPR has implemented a strong training, development and mobility strategy. With these efforts, we want to preserve the excellence of the company s human capital, while offering our people an attractive career development plan with opportunities for professional growth. MOBILITY To support company s global growth strategy, mobility is of upmost importance as a powerful tool to share EDPR culture and best practices with new markets where we plan to enter. In addition, it also opens new horizons to our employees in their career development. During 2012, we initiated a process to facilitate employees access to those opportunities that better match their career plans. Employees were encouraged to update their professional experience information and their preferences regarding mobility. This information was processed in order to identify different profiles within the company, preparing for the forthcoming mobility requirements. In the following years, new open positions within the company will be matched with the generated profiles, in order to prioritize internal movement with those employees whose competencies, training and mobility preferences match the requirements for the new position. TRAINING When defining our strategy for the future, we strive to align current and future demands of the organization with employees capabilities while fulfilling their professional development expectations and supporting their continued employability. We are committed to offer our employees an attractive career plan, as well as continuous education and training opportunities. All of EDPR employees, regardless of their professional category, are evaluated yearly to determine the potential for development, thus creating a tailored development plan with the 40

325 most suitable training to address their particular needs. The potential assessment process is independent from performance appraisal and is based on a 360 degree evaluation model in which the system collects information from several data sources to evaluate employee performance: oneself, peers, subordinates and manager. In 2012, the number of attendances to training sessions increased to 2,270, representing 2.93 attendances to training courses per employee. On the other hand, the total number of training hours decreased to 14,611, as a result of a change of profile of training to more focused, shorter courses.

In 2012, language training accounted for 2,713 hours and 166 attendances, while in 2011 language training represented 20,123 hours and 1,681 attendances. Renewable Energy School - EDP University In the coming years, the Renewable Energy School will gain relevance as a tool aimed at facilitating know-how sharing and providing employees with an overview of the strategic challenges that the company faces. The Renewable Energy School was created in 2011, in the context of the EDP University, and since its creation, it has proven to be a success, delivering 23 training sessions (representing 229 hours) to 389 attendants. The School also fostered strategic discussion with a workshop prepared during 2012 involving directors from different areas across the company. And our business partners have also contributed to the objective of our school through collaborative courses, such as a specific training session in offshore wind energy held with Repsol and other collaborations with EDP University. High Potential Program Our training strategy is also focused on boost career development of our high potential employees, as we want them to become the future leaders to carry EDPR to the next level. With this objective, during 2012, we continued offering those employees a specific training program named High-Potential Program (HIPO). 41

326 Through the HIPO, those employees are assisted in their professional development with the support of a mentor that will provide employees with guidance in their careers, and specific training to develop the required soft skills to grow professionally within the company. Leadership Guide Effective leadership is a pre-requisite for success and company s development. During 2012, EDPR provided its management with top leadership training, spanning topics from leadership responsibilities to leadership style. The training sessions held for this purpose were an excellent forum to share leadership experiences. When defining our strategy for the future, we strive to align current and future demands of the organization with employees capabilities while fulfilling their professional development expectations and supporting their continued employability. We are committed to offer our employees an attractive career plan, as well as continuous education and training opportunities. RECRUITING In order to fuel future growth, increase efficiency and drive innovation, EDPR is constantly scanning globally to recruit top talent. To this extent a recruiting strategy has been developed to achieve this critical goal, while ensuring that new hires are aligned with the company s values: Team Oriented Environment: EDPR promotes an environment based on team building.

328 11. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 11.1 Model of Management and Supervision EDP Renováveis, has adopted the governance structure in effect in Spain. It comprises a General Shareholders Meeting and a Board of Directors that represents and manages the company. The Company s Board of Directors has set up four committees. These are the Executive Committee, the Audit and Control Committee, the Nominations and Remunerations Committee, Related-Party Transactions Committee. The governance model of EDPR is designed to ensure the transparency, meticulous separation of duties and the specialization of supervision. The purpose of the choice of this model by EDPR is to adapt the Company s corporate governance structure to the Portuguese legislation. The governance model adopted by EDPR therefore seeks, as it is compatible with its personal law, to correspond to the so-called Anglo-Saxon model set forth in the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, in which the management body is a Board of Directors, and the supervision and control duties are of the responsibility of an Audit and Control Committee. The choice of this model complies with the purpose of establishing compatibility between two different systems of company law, which could be considered applicable to the model. The experience of institutional operating indicates that the governance model adopted by the shareholders is appropriate to the corporate organisation of EDP Renováveis activity, especially because it affords transparency and healthy balance between the management functions of the Executive Committee, the supervisory functions of the Audit and Control Committee and oversight by different specialised Board of Directors committees. The institutional and functional relationship between the Executive Committee, the Audit and Control Committee and the other non-executive members of the Board of Directors has been harmony conducive to the development of the company s business. In order to ensure a better understanding of EDP Renováveis corporate governance by its shareholders, the Company posts its updated Articles of Association at 44

329 11.2 Governing Bodies General Meeting of Shareholders The General Meeting of Shareholders, when properly convened, has the power to decide and adopt majority decisions on matters that the law and the Articles of Association set forth that it should be decided and be submitted for its approval Board of Directors The Board of Directors has the broadest powers for the management and governance of the Company, with no limitations other than the competences expressly allocated exclusively to the General Shareholders Meeting by law or the Articles of Association.

This system covers the main aspects of COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission): maintaining a control environment for the preparation of qualified financial information, assessment of the risks of financial reporting, existence of control activities to mitigate risks of error, information, and communication and evaluation mechanisms. EDPR, in order to implement and maintain the SCIRF in operational terms, has developed a Responsibilities Model and a SCIRF Manual. The Responsibilities Model includes the functions and main activities in the management and maintenance of the system at all levels of the organization including: monitoring activities related to the annual cycle, the implementation of controls, and documentation of evidence and supervision activities. EDPR has also a SCIRF Manual where the general principles of the Internal Control System over Financial Reporting are established, as well as the methodology used, the procedures for ensuring the effectiveness of internal control, and design of models, documentation, evaluation, and reporting. Code of Ethics and Ethics Channel EDPR has a Code of Ethics published on its intranet, which includes principles like transparency, honesty, integrity, nondiscrimination, equal opportunity, and sustainability. The Code of Ethics has been widely circulated among employees of the Group through internal communications mechanisms, individual shipments, delivery to new employees, and intranet publishing. There is a strong commitment by the Company in relation to the dissemination and promotion of compliance with the Code available to all employees through training, questionnaires, and open discussions of the findings There is also an Ethics Channel and Ethics Regulation to articulate any specific claims of the Code of Ethics and to resolve doubts on all matters relating to the Code of Ethics. Communications regarding possible breaches of the Code of Ethics are sent to the Ethics Ombudsman, which performs a first analysis, forwarding its conclusion to the Ethics Committee of EDPR, which receives, records, processes, and reports to the Board of Directors. In 2012 there were no communications to the Ethics Ombudsmen regarding any irregularity at EDPR. Communication Channel to the Audit and Control Committee In addition to the Code of Ethics and the Ethics Channel, EDPR has implemented a Communication Channel to the Audit and Control Committee that allows direct communication with the Audit and Control Committee of any inappropriate practices in accounting and finance. The operation of this Communication Channel is regulated by the Regulation on procedures to be adopted in communication matters to the Audit and Control Committee. Submissions can be made by or letter, being handled by the Secretary of the Audit and Control Committee. To ensure confidentiality, access to information submitted is restricted and limited. Scope Revision and Update The SCIRF Manual includes the annual update of the scope that aims to identify companies, areas, and processes that must be included in the scope of SCIRF, according to criteria of materiality and risk, including the risk of error or fraud. The risk analysis included in the scoping process for SCIRF, includes different types of risk (operational, economic, financial, technological, or legal) and control objectives of financial reporting (existence and occurrence, completeness, measurement, presentation, disclosure, comparability, and rights, and obligations in terms of their potential impact on the financial statements).

360 The results of the updated scope with the methodology outlined are communicated at all levels of the organization involved in the SCIRF and supervised by the Audit and Control Committee. Preparation, review and approval of financial information In documented SCIRF processes and controls, information capture mechanisms are established (including identification of the scope of consolidation). The steps and controls that are carried out for the preparation of the financial information that will be part of consolidated financial statements are specified. The procedures for review and approval of financial information are provided by the areas of Planning and Control, Administration, and Finance. Financial information is monitored in the scope of its competences by the Audit and Control Committee, prior to the formulation of the accounts by the Board of Directors.. The SCIRF includes control activities related to these processes, embodied in Entity Level Controls, Process Controls, and General Computer Controls. These processes include review and approval activities of the financial information which are described in the processes of elaboration of individual accounts, preparation of consolidated accounts, and processing of consolidated financial statements. EDPR has descriptions of Competency Profiles for the Positions to be carried out in the exercise of the main features of each position that includes a description of their main responsibilities. These include the descriptions of the key positions of those involved in the preparation of financial information. These descriptions include responsibilities in the preparation of financial information and compliance with internal control procedures. The documentation of processes and associated controls designed include among others, the completion of closure activities by completing monthly closing checklists by entity, setting time limits for the closures, the identification of the relevance of the operations in order to be reviewed at the appropriate level, conducting analytical reviews of financial information, the existence of limitations in systems to prevent erroneous records or by unauthorized people, analysis of deviations from the budget, the analysis in the meetings of the Executive Committee of relevant and significant facts that could cause a significant impact on the accounts, or the allocation of responsibilities for calculating amounts to be provisioned for them to be carried out by authorized personnel with the right skills. In addition to the mentioned processes, major transactional processes resulting from the scope are documented. The description of the activities and controls are designed with the aim of ensuring the registration, evaluation, appropriate presentation, and disclosure of transactions in financial reporting. Control activities of EDPR s SCIRF also include those relating to systems and information technology (Computer General Controls) following an international reference, the COBIT framework (Control Objectives for Information and related Technologies). The importance of this area is that the information systems are the tools with which financial information is prepared, and is therefore, relevant for transactions conducted with them. These control activities include those related to access control to applications and systems, segregation of duties, management of corrective and evolutive maintenance, new projects implementation, administration and management of the systems, facilities and operations (back-ups, security incidents), and their proper monitoring and planning. These activities are developed taking into account the requirements of control and supervision. Among the activities of SCIRF s scope update, there is a periodic analysis of the existence of service providers that perform relevant activities in relation to the processes of preparing financial information. Evaluation of the efficiency of SCIRF EDPR Group decided to have its SCIRF audited by the external auditor as of December 31 st, The external auditor has included in the scope of their audit work, an opinion on the SCIRF of the EDPR Group, specific jobs regarding EDPR s SCIRF. B. RISK MANAGEMENT EDPR s risk framework was designed to not be a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities and processes of the company, but to be part of the responsibilities of management as an integrating element of all organizational processes, including strategic planning. RISK FRAMEWORK AND PROCESS In EDPR s risk framework, risk process aims to link the company s overall strategy to manager s day-to-day decisions, enabling the company to increase the likelihood of achieving its strategic objectives. EDPR s general strategy is translated into major strategic questions that are grouped by risk area and then subject to EDPR s risk process. The outcome of the risk process is a set of specific guidelines per risk area that will guide managers in their decisions according to the company s risk profile.

RISK FRAMEWORK AND PROCESS In EDPR s risk framework, risk process aims to link the company s overall strategy to manager s day-to-day decisions, enabling the company to increase the likelihood of achieving its strategic objectives. EDPR s general strategy is translated into major strategic questions that are grouped by risk area and then subject to EDPR s risk process. The outcome of the risk process is a set of specific guidelines per risk area that will guide managers in their decisions according to the company s risk profile.

362 II.7 REGULATIONS ON THE FUNCTIONING OF THE GOVERNING BODIES All EDPR governing bodies and special committees have internal Regulations which are available to the public on the company s website at SECTION II BOARD OF DIRECTORS II.8 EXECUTIVE POWERS OF THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Chairperson of EDPR s Board of Directors does not have executive duties. II.9 MAIN ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL, AND LEGAL RISKS RISK AREAS AND RISK RELATED STRATEGIC QUESTIONS The following list summarizes the main risk areas and descriptions of EDPR s business: 1. Countries & regulations - Changes in regulations may impact EDPR s business in a given country 2. Revenues - Revenues received by EDPR s projects may diverge from what is expected 3. Financing - EDPR may not be able to raise enough cash to finance its planned Capex; EDPR may not be able to fulfill its financial obligations 4. Wind turbine contracts - Changes in turbine prices may impact projects profitability; Contracts should take into account the pipeline development risk 5. Pipeline development - EDPR may deliver an installed capacity different from its targets or suffer delays and/or anticipations in its installation 6. Operations - Projects may deliver a volume different from expected II.9.1 Countries and regulations II Regulatory risks The development and profitability of renewable energy projects are subject to policies and regulatory frameworks. The jurisdictions in which EDPR operates provide numerous types of incentives that support the energy generated from renewable sources. The European Union and various US federal and state bodies have regularly reaffirmed their desire to continue and strengthen support for renewable energy sources, although due to the financial difficulties that Governments are experiencing, remuneration schemes have become less competitive in some countries. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that the current support will be maintained or that the electricity produced by future renewable energy projects will benefit from state purchase obligations, tax incentives, or other support measures for the electricity generation from renewable energy sources. Regulation promoting green energy has been revised or is being under study in a large number of regions. Management of regulatory risks EDPR is managing its exposure to regulatory risks through diversification (being present in several countries) and by being an active member in several wind associations. Sensitivity analyses to updated regulatory scenarios are also performed. II.9.2 Revenues II Exposure to market electricity prices EDPR faces limited market price risk as it pursues a strategy of being present in countries or regions with long term visibility on revenues. In most countries where EDPR is present, prices are determined through regulated framework mechanisms. In the markets where there is expected short term volatility in market prices, EDPR uses various financial and commodity hedging instruments in order to optimize the exposure to fluctuating electricity prices. However, it may not be possible to successfully hedge the exposures or there may be other difficulties in executing the hedging strategy. In Europe, EDPR operates in countries where the selling price is defined by a feed-in-tariff (Spain, Portugal and France) or in markets where on top of the electricity price, EDPR receives either a pre-defined regulated premium or a green certificate, whose price is achieved on a regulated market (Spain, Belgium, Poland, and Romania). Additionally, EDPR is developing activity in Italy and UK where current incentive system is based on green certificates. Recently Italy changed to a feed in tariff from green certificates and UK is in process. In North America, EDPR is focus on developing in states which have an RPS program in place, providing higher revenues visibility through the REC (Renewable Energy Credit) market and non-compliance penalties. The North American market does not provide a regulated framework system for the electricity price although it may exist for the RECs in some states. Most of EDPR s capacity in the US has predefined prices determined by long-term contracts with local utilities in line with the Company s policy of signing long-term contracts for the output of its wind farms. In Brazilian operations, the selling price is defined through a public auction which is later translated into a long-term contract. Management of risks related to exposure to market electricity prices Under EDPR s global approach to optimize the exposure to market electricity prices, the Company evaluates on a permanent basis if there are any deviations to the defined limits (measured through EBITDA at risk), assessing in which markets financial hedges may be more effective to correct it. In 2012, in order to manage such exposure, EDPR financially hedged a significant part of its generation in Spain while in the US it closed a significant portion of its exposure through several power purchase agreements, long term hedges and financial swaps. Additionally, EDPR hedged part of the merchant generation in Poland and Romania.

363 ANNUAL REPORT 2012 corporate governance II Risk related to volatility of energy production The amount of electricity generated by EDPR from its wind farms, and therefore EDPR s profitability, is dependent on climatic conditions, which vary across the locations of the wind farms, and from season to season and year to year. Energy output at wind farms may decline if wind speed falls outside specific ranges, as turbines will only operate when wind speeds are within those ranges. Variations and fluctuations in wind conditions at wind farms may result in seasonal and other fluctuations in the amount of electricity that is generated and, consequently, in the operating results and efficiency. Management of risks related to volatility of energy production EDPR mitigates wind resource volatility and seasonality by having a strong knowledge in the design of its wind farms and through geographical diversification in each country and in different countries of its asset base. This portfolio effect enables EDPR to offset wind variations in each area and to keep the total energy generation relatively steady. Currently, EDPR is present in 11 countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil. There exist financial products to hedge weather risk. EDPR is currently exploring the interest of contracting those products in specific cases. II.9.3. Financing II Risks related to financial market exposure EDPR is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates through financing. This risk can be mitigated by contracting fixed rates and financial instruments such as hedges and interest rate swaps. Additionally, because of its presence in several countries, currency fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on the financial results. EDPR hedges against currency fluctuations by employing natural hedging strategies, and using hedging instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts and Cross Interest Rate Swaps. EDPR s hedging efforts minimize but don t eliminate the impact of interest rate and exchange rate volatility. Management of financial risks The evolution of the financial markets is analyzed on an ongoing basis in accordance to EDP Group s risk management policy approved by the EDPR`s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is responsible for the definition of general risk-management principles and the establishment of exposure limits based on the recommendation of the Risk Committee. Taking into account the risk management policy and approved exposure limits, the Finance team identifies evaluates, and submits the financial strategy appropriate to each project/location for the Board s approval. II Interest rate risk The purpose of the interest rate risk management policies is to reduce the exposure of long term debt cash flows from market fluctuations, mainly by contracting long term debt with a fixed rate, but also through the settlement of derivative financial instruments to swap from floating rate to fixed rate when long term debt is issued with floating rates. EDPR has a portfolio of interest-rate derivatives with maturities ranging from 2 to 14 years. Sensitivity analyses of the fair value of financial instruments to interest-rate fluctuations are performed. Given the policies adopted by EDPR Group, its financial cash flows are substantially independent from the fluctuation in interest rates. II Exchange rate risk EDPR operates internationally and is exposed to the exchange-rate risk resulting from investments in foreign subsidiaries. Currently, the main currency exposure is the U.S. dollar/euro currency fluctuation risk that results principally from our operations in the US. With the ongoing increasing capacity in others non-euro regions, EDPR is also exposed to different currencies in Poland, Romania, Brazil, United Kingdom and Canada. EDPR s general policy is the Natural Hedging in order to match currency cash flows, minimizing the impact of changes in the exchange rate and preserving value. The essence of this approach is to create financial foreign currency outflows to match equivalent foreign currency inflows. II Counterparty credit risk Counterparty risk is the default risk of third-parties in an agreement with EDPR either due to temporary liquidity issues or long term systemic issues. Management of counterparty credit risk EDPR s policy in terms of the counterparty credit risk on financial transactions is managed by an analysis of the technical capacity, competitiveness, credit notation and exposure to each counterparty. Counterparties in derivatives and financial transactions are restricted to high-quality credit institutions, therefore, there cannot be considered any significant risk of counterparty non-compliance and no collateral is demanded for these transactions. II Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that EDPR will not be able to meet its financial obligations. Management of liquidity risk EDPR s strategy to manage liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to EDPR s

364 reputation. EDPR has a diversified financial structure composed of corporate debt and project finance, which. considers among other factors, financing cost, project ownership and project currency liquidity. Finally, EDPR uses a financial model to forecast liquidity risk in the medium and long term to meet strategic targets previously set (EBITDA, debt ratio and others). II.9.4 Wind turbine contracts II Wind turbine supply risk The wind turbine generator (WTG) is a key element in the development of EDPR s wind-related energy projects, as the shortfall or an unexpected sharp increase in WTG prices can create a question mark on new project s development and profitability. WTG represents on average 70 to 80% of a wind farm s capital expenditure. Management of wind turbine supply risk EDPR faces limited risk to the availability and price increase of WTG s due to the framework agreements with the major global wind turbines suppliers. The Company uses a large mix of turbines suppliers in order to diversify the wind turbine supply risk. potential delays in the development of new projects, ensuring growth targets and being able to compensate permitting delays in some geographies with development efforts in others. II.9.6 Operations II Wind turbine performance risk Wind farm output depends upon the availability and operating performance of the equipment necessary to operate it, mainly the components of wind turbines and transformers. Therefore, the risk is that the performance of the turbine does not reach its optimum thus leading to lower than expected value. Management of wind turbine performance risk EDPR mitigates this risk by using a mix of turbine suppliers which minimizes technological risk, by signing a mediumterm full-scope maintenance agreement with the turbine supplier and by an adequate preventive and scheduled maintenance program. Most recently, EDPR is externalizing non core technical O&M activities of its wind farms, while primary and value added activities continue controlled by EDPR. II.9.5 Pipeline development II Permitting risks Wind farms are subject to strict regulations at different authority levels (international, national, state, regional and local) relating to the development, construction, grid interconnection and operation of power plants. Among other things, these laws regulate landscape and environmental aspects, building licenses, land use and land securing and access to the grid issues. While level of exigency might be different depending on the geographies, we acknowledge a trend for legislations to align towards the most restrictive rules and development risks concentrating on the consenting (namely environmental and urbanistic aspects) and connection side. In this context, the experience EDPR is able to gather in a certain country will be useful to anticipate and deal with future similar changes in other countries. During the development and design phase, EDPR focuses on the optimization of its projects. By mastering the variables under our control, such as choice of locations, optimal layout, we intend to make our projects more resilient to an adverse external environment Management of permitting risk EDPR mitigates this risk by generating optionality, by having development activities in 11 different countries (Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil) with a portfolio of projects in several stages of maturity. EDPR has a large pipeline located in the most attractive regions providing a buffer to overcome II.10 POWERS GRANTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, NAMELY REGARDING SHARE CAPITAL INCREASE The Board of Directors is vested with broad-ranging powers of administration, management, and governance of the Company without limitation, except for the powers specifically assigned to General Shareholders Meeting in the Articles of Association or other applicable law.

All other powers specifically attributed to the Board in the Articles of Association or by law, this enumeration being merely indicative but in no way restrictive. In order to guarantee that the common interests of the Company and those of its subsidiaries and group companies are properly served, the Board of Directors shall act at all times in coordination with those companies B. Regarding the decisions to increase the share capital, the Board of Directors does not have this power but, subject to prior delegation from the General Shareholders Meeting, would be able to decide the increase of the share capital. This delegation must comply with the law and the By-Laws. On the other hand, the General Shareholders Meeting may also delegate to the Board of Directors the power to implement an adopted decision to increase the share capital, indicating the date or dates of its implementation and establishing any other conditions that have not been specified by the General Shareholders Meeting. The Board of Directors may use this delegation wholly or in part and may also decide not to perform it in consideration of the conditions of the Company, the market, or any particularly relevant events or circumstances that justify said decision, of which the General Shareholders Meeting must be informed at the end of the time limit or limits for performing it. II.11 RULES REGARDING THE NOMINATION AND DISCHARGE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE POLICY OF PORTFOLIO ROTATION The Nominations and Remunerations Committee, according to its Regulations, presents to the Board of Directors a proposal with the names of the candidates that the Committee considers having the best qualities to fulfill the role of Board Member. The Board of Directors presents the proposal at the General Shareholders Meeting that will approve the proposal by majority for an initial period of three (3) years and may re-elect these members once or more times for further periods of three (3) years. Nonetheless, pursuant to Article 23 of the Articles of Association and 243 of the Spanish Companies Law, shareholders wishing so, may group their shares until they constitute an amount of capital equal or higher than the result of dividing it by the number of Directors and nominate those that, using only whole fractions, are deducted from the corresponding proportion. Those making use of this power cannot intervene in the nomination of the other members of the Board of Directors. In case of a vacancy, pursuant to Article 23 of the Articles of Association and 243 of the Spanish Companies Law, the Board of Directors may co-opt people from the shareholders, who will occupy the position until the next General Shareholders Meeting, which shall ratify the coopted Director. Pursuant to Article 247 of the Spanish Companies Law, the co-option of Directors, as for other Board decisions, must be approved by absolute majority of the Directors at the meeting. According to the Spanish Law and the Spanish companies practices, the daily management of the business is guaranteed by a Chief Executive Officer who is empowered to ensure the day-to-day management of the company. This type of organization is different from what occurs on the Portuguese companies in which a conselho de administracão executivo takes the assignment of areas of business and each executive director is responsible to and for an area of business. II.12 NUMBER OF MEETINGS OF THE MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY BODIES The Board of Directors held six (6) meetings during the year ending on December 31 st, Minutes of all meetings were drawn up. In 2012, the Audit and Control Committee held fourteen (14) meetings, six of those meetings were plenary and the other eight were with the different departments whose activity development were discussed with the Committee.

II.17 ACTIVITY OF THE NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS EDPR s Annual Management Report of 2012 includes a description of the activity taken out by the non-executive directors and possible constraints detected. With the mechanisms set forth in the regulations, non-executive Directors have encountered no difficulties in performing their duties. In 2012, the non-executive Directors were involved in the governance of EDPR not only by participating in meetings of the Board of Directors, where they gave their opinions on different company matters, made any suggestions they saw fit, and took decisions on matters submitted to them, but also by working on the Nominations and Remunerations Committee, on the Related-Party Transactions Committee, and the Audit and Control Committee, where all the members are non-executive with the exception of the Related-Party Transactions Committee, which has one executive Director, Mr. Nuno Maria Pestana de Almeida Alves. II.18 BIOGRAPHIES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Annex IV of the Report gives a brief description of the Directors professional and academic careers. II.19 ROLES HELD BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN OTHER COMPANIES The positions held by the members of the Board in the last five (5) years, those that they currently hold, and positions in Group and non-group companies are listed in Annexes I, II and III, respectively. Also, the shares of EDPR owned by each Director are described in the table in Annex V. SECTION III GENERAL AND SUPERVISORY BOARD, COMMITTEE FOR FINANCIAL MATTERS, AUDIT COMMITTEE, AND FISCAL COUNCIL Information as provided for in Chapters II.20. to II.23. of CMVM Regulation no. 1/2010 does not apply to EDPR. The governance model adopted by EDPR, as it is compatible with its personal law, corresponds to the so-called Anglo-Saxon model set forth in the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, in which the management body is a Board of Directors, and the supervision and control duties are of the responsibility of an Audit and Control Committee.

369 II.24 EVALUATION OF THE EXTERNAL AUDITOR The Audit and Control Committee is responsible for proposing to the Board of Directors for submission to the General Shareholders Meeting the nomination of the Company auditors, the terms of their contracts, scope of their duties, and revocation and renewal of their contracts. In order to protect the External Auditor independence, the following competences of the Audit and Control Committee were exercised during 2011: Direct and exclusive supervision from the Audit and Control Committee; Evaluation of the qualifications, independence, and performance of the External Auditor and the annual report from the External Auditor regarding the information of all existing relations between the Company and the Auditors or people related to them, including all the services rendered and all the services in course. The Audit and Control Committee, in order to evaluate its independence, obtained from the External Auditor information regarding their independence according to Portuguese Decree-Law n.º 224/2008, November 20 th, that changes the Articles of Association of the External Auditors Association; Revision of the transparency report signed by the External Auditor and published on their website. This report is about a group of subjects regulated on article 62º-A from the Portuguese Decree-Law n.º 224/2008, mainly related to the Internal Control System and to the process of quality control realized by the competent entities; Analysis with the External Auditor of the scope, planning, and resources to use on the services provided. In 2012, according to the Audit and Control Committee s competences and in line with Recommendations II.4.4 and II.4.5, it was the first and direct recipient and the corporate body in charge of the permanent contact with the external auditor on matters that may pose a risk to their independence and any other matters related to the auditing of accounts. It also receives and stores information on any other matters provided for in legislation on audits and in auditing standards in effect at any time. The Audit and Control Committee assessed the performance of the external auditor in providing the services hired by the Company and made a positive evaluation of their quality, considering that they meet applicable standards and that it is advisable to maintain the same auditor. The work of the external auditor, including reports and audits of its accounts, was supervised and evaluated in accordance with applicable rules and standards, in particular international auditing standards. The external auditor in coordination with the Audit and Control Committee verifies the implementation of remuneration policies and the efficiency and functioning of internal control mechanisms. The external auditor reports to the Audit and Control Committee all the shortcomings. Information as provided for in Chapters II.25. to II.28. of CMVM Regulation no. 1/2010 does not apply to EDPR. The governance model adopted by EDPR, as it is compatible with its personal law, corresponds to the so-called Anglo-Saxon model set forth in the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, in which the management body is a Board of Directors, and the supervision and control duties are of the responsibility of an Audit and Control Committee. II.29 REMUNERATION POLICY OF THE SENIOR MANAGERS This information is available on chapter II

370 ANNUAL REPORT 2012 corporate governance SECTION IV - REMUNERATION II.30 REMUNERATION POLICY FOR THE MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY BODIES Pursuant to Article 26 of the Company s Articles of Association, the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors shall consist of a fixed amount to be determined by the General Shareholders Meeting for all the Directors and expenses for attending Board meetings. The above mentioned article also establishes the possibility of the Directors being remunerated with Company shares, share options, or other securities granting the right to obtain shares or by means of share-indexed remuneration systems. In any case, the system chosen must be approved by the General Shareholders Meeting and comply with current legal provisions. The maximum remuneration approved by the General Shareholders Meeting in the previous fiscal year, for all the members of the Board of Directors was EUR 2,500,000. Pursuant to Article 26.4 of the Company s Articles of Association, the rights and duties of any kind derived from the condition of Board Member shall be compatible with any other rights and obligations either fixed or variable that could correspond to the Board Members as a consequence of other employment or professional engagements, if any, carried out in the Company. Variable remuneration resulting from said contracts or from any other relationship, including being a Board Member, will be limited to a maximum annual amount to be established by the General Shareholders Meeting. The maximum remuneration approved by the General Shareholders Meeting for the variable remuneration for all the members of the Board of Directors was EUR 600,000 per year. The Nominations and Remunerations Committee is responsible for proposing to the Board of Directors, although not bindingly, the system, distribution, and amount of remuneration of the Directors on the basis of the overall amount of remuneration authorized by the General Shareholders Meeting. The Committee can also propose to the Board of Directors the terms of the contracts with the Directors. The distribution and exact amount paid to each Director, the frequency and other details of the remuneration shall be determined by the Board of Directors based on the proposal presented by the Nominations and Remunerations Committee. Additionally, this Committee defines the variable remuneration to be attributed to the Directors, with the purpose that it reflects the performance of each of the members in each year of their term of office (variable annual remuneration), and also their performance during their term of office establishing a variable component which is consistent with the maximization of the Company's long term performance (variable multi-annual remuneration for a threeyear period), thereby guaranteeing the alignment of the performance of the governing bodies with the interests of the shareholders. The remuneration policy proposed by the Nominations and approved by the General Shareholders Meeting on April 11 th, 2011 (the Remuneration Policy), defines a structure with a fixed remuneration for all members of the Board of Directors and a variable remuneration, with an annual component and a multi-annual component for the members of the Executive Committee. For the period , it was decided to maintain the remuneration structure in terms of its components, as well as to keep the same nominal value of fixed annual component as the one in force during the period, revising the KPI s (Key Performance Indicators) for variable multi-annual and annual components. II.31 INDIVIDUAL ANNUAL REMUNERATION OF THE MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY BODIES The remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors for the year ended on December 31 st 2012 was as follows: Remuneration Euros Fixed Variable Annual Multiannual Total Executive Directors Ana Maria Fernandes A) 54, , , ,821 João Manso Neto (CEO) B) Nuno Alves B) Gabriel Alonso C) João Paulo Costeira C) Luis Adão da Fonseca C) Rui Teixeira C) Non-Executive Directors António Mexia D) António Nogueira Leite E) Francisco José Queiroz de Barros de Lacerda E) 36, ,666 Gilles August 45,000-45,000 João Lopes Raimundo João Manuel de Mello Franco 60, ,000 80, ,000 João Marques da Cruz F) Jorge Santos 60, ,000 José Araújo e Silva G) 15, ,000 Manuel Menéndez Menéndez Rafael Caldeira Valverde 45, ,000 55, ,000 Total 451, , , ,487 A) Mrs. Ana Maria Fernandes resigned as Chief Executive Officer of EDPR on February 28 th, The fixed remuneration mentioned above refers only to the months when the prior CEO was still on duty paid in 2012 and adjustments on the variable remuneration paid on February

371 B) With the exception of the Executive Committee Directors that are also Officers, the members of the Executive Committee have not received any remuneration from EDPR. On February 28th, 2012 Mr. João Manso Neto, was nominated Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Vice-Chairperson of the Board of Directors of EDPR. In order to increase transparency and healthy corporate governance practices, and also to treat Mr. João Manso Neto consistently with the other Managers, the Nominations and Remunerations Committee proposed to the Board of Directors (which approved it) a modification of the Remuneration Policy in order to include the CEO compensation in the management fee of the Executive Management Services Agreement. C) Mr. Gabriel Alonso, Mr. João Paulo Costeira, Mr. Luis Adão da Fonseca and Mr. Rui Teixeira, as Officers and members of the Executive Committee receive their remuneration as EDPR employees, as described on the table below. D) In 2012, Mr. António Mexia resigned as Chairperson and member of the Executive Committee. He received his remuneration according to the Executive Management Services Agreement, as executive Manager during the performance of his duties as Chairperson of the Executive Committee, and as non-executive Manager after the above mentioned resignation; therefore he has not received any remuneration from EDPR. E) In 2012, Mr. António Nogueira Leite and Mr. Francisco José Queiroz de Barros de Lacerda resigned as members of the Board of Directors. The remuneration mentioned above refers only to the months when these Board members were still on duty. F) On May 2012, Mr. João Marques da Cruz was nominated by cooptation as Member of the Board of Directors until the first General Shareholders Meeting is gathered. Mr. João Marques da Cruz receives his remuneration through the Executive Management Services Agreement. The executive management fee paid by the Company to EDP was adjusted and an additional management fee for non-executive services was included, therefore he has not received any remuneration directly from EDPR.

The remuneration of the Executive Committee Directors that are also Officers, with the exception of the CEO, was paid directly by EDPR while for the other members of the Executive Committee there hasn t been any direct payment to its members. This corporate governance practice of remuneration is in line with the model adopted by the EDP Group, in which the executive Directors of EDP do not receive any remuneration directly from the group companies on whose governing bodies they serve, but rather through EDP. Nonetheless, in line with the above corporate governance practice, EDPR has signed an Executive Management Services Agreement with EDP, under which the Company bears the cost for the render of those services corresponding to the remuneration defined for some of the members of the Board of Directors. The non-executive Directors only receive a fixed remuneration, which is calculated on the basis of their work exclusively as Directors or cumulatively with their membership on the Nominations and Remunerations Committee, Related Party Transactions Committee, and the Audit and Control Committee. EDPR has not incorporated any share remuneration or share purchase options plans as components of the remuneration of its Directors. No Director has entered into any contract with the company or third parties that have the effect of mitigating the risk inherent in the variability of the remuneration established by the company. In EDPR there aren't any payments for the dismissal or termination of Director's duties. II.33 REMUNERATION OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS A) This information is available on chapter II.32.

380 ANNUAL REPORT 2012 corporate governance III.16 INVESTOR RELATIONS DEPARTMENT EDPR seeks to provide to shareholders, investors, and stakeholders all the relevant information about the Company and its business environment. The promotion of transparent, consistent, rigorous, easily accessible, and high quality information is of fundamental importance to an accurate perception of the company s strategy, financial situation, accounts, assets, prospects, risks, and significant events. EDPR, therefore, looks to provide investors with information that can support them in making informed, clear, and concrete investment decisions. An Investor Relations Office was created to ensure a direct and permanent contact with all market related agents and stakeholders, to guarantee the equality between shareholders and to prevent imbalances in the information access. The EDPR Investor Relations Department is the intermediary between EDPR and its actual and potential shareholders, the financial analysts that follow the Company s activity, all investors, and the financial market agents in general. The main purpose of the department is to guarantee the principle of equality among shareholders, prevent asymmetries in access to information, and reduce the market perception gap of the company s strategy and intrinsic value. The department responsibility encompasses developing and implementing EDPR s communication strategy and preserving an appropriate institutional and informative relationship with the financial market, the stock exchange at which EDPR shares trade, and the regulatory and supervisory entities (CMVM Comissão de Mercado de Valores Mobiliários in Portugal and CMNV Comisíon Nacional del Mercado de Valores in Spain).

In EDPR there is a policy of pre-approval by the Audit and Control Committee for the selection of the External Auditor and any related entity for non-audit services, according to Recommendation III.1.5 of the Portuguese Corporate Governance Code. This policy was strictly followed during The services, other than auditing services, provided to the Company by the External Auditor and entities in a holding relationship with or incorporated in the same network as the External Auditor were previously approved by the Audit Committee, upon review of each specific service, which considered the following aspects: (i) such services having no effect on the independence of the External Auditor and any safeguards used; and (ii) the position of the External Auditor in the provision of such services, notably the External Auditor s experience and knowledge of the Company. Furthermore, although hiring services other than auditing services to the External Auditor is admissible, it is envisaged as an exception. In this way, as referred to above, in 2012 such services reached only around 5% of the total amount of services provided to the Company. In order to safeguard the independence of the External Auditors, the following powers of the Audit Committee were exercised during the 2012 financial year and should be highlighted: Nominate and hire the External Auditors and responsibility for establishing their remuneration as well as pre-approval of any services to be hired from the External Auditors; Direct and exclusive supervision by the Audit Committee; Assessment of the qualifications, independence, and performance of the External Auditors, and obtaining, yearly and directly from the External Auditors, written information on all relations existing between the Company and the Auditors or associated persons, including all services rendered and all services in progress; in fact, the Audit Committee, in order to evaluate independence, obtained from the External Auditors information on their independence in light of article 62B of Decree-Law no. 224/2008 of 20 November 2008, which amends the articles of association of the Chartered Accountant Professional Association; Review of the transparency report, signed by the Auditor and disclosed at its website. This report covers the matters provided for under article 62A of Decree-Law no. 224/2008, including those regarding the quality control internal system of the audit firm and the quality control procedures carried out by the competent authorities; Definition of the Company s hiring policy concerning persons who have worked or currently work with the External Auditors; Review, with the External Auditors, of the scope, planning, and resources to be used in their services; Responsibility for the settlement of any differences between the Executive Committee and the External Auditors concerning financial information. Within this context, it should be particularly stressed that External Auditor independence was safeguarded by the implementation of the Company s policy on pre-approval of the services to be hired to External Auditors (or any entity in a holding relationship with or incorporating the same network as the External Auditors), which results from the application of the rules issued by SEC on this matter. According to such policy, the Audit Committee makes an overall pre-approval of the services proposal made by the External Auditors and a specific pre-approval of other services that will eventually be provided by the External Auditors, particularly tax consultancy services and services other than audit and audit related services. III.18 REFERENCE TO THE ROTATION PERIOD OF THE EXTERNAL AUDITOR EDPR s External Auditor is, since the year 2007, KPMG Auditores S.L.. The external auditor is currently in its second mandate of three years, therefore there is still no need to rotate the auditor according to Recommendation III.1.3 of the Portuguese Corporate Governance Code. 43
